S = Scots I = Irish P = Political C = Classical N = Negro L = Jazz. There was another set of codes which explains the variation in letters used. The central letter was used to indicate size of format. Thus:- D = single E = EP F = 10" G = 12". Colin Pomroy was the man behind the label with the help of Paul Carter often as the inspiration with the folky recordings. Bernard Mattimore was also often involved as an engineer.
