GRAMPIAN
RECORDS

Probably the most northerly record company on this site. Grampian Records was based in 19 Bank Row Wick; it issued records from the early '60s until at least the mid '70s.  Singles were numbered in the NAN-1000s, and there were at least thirty-five of them.  There was a separate GRA-100 series for EPs; The Marlettes' 'I'm Going To Parcel Up My Broken Heart', was issued in 1973.  The fare on offer appears to have been standard Scottish Traditional material in the main, though there were occasional deviations: NAM-1008, 'I'm Coming Home' by Beat group The Nomads, which dates from 1965, is particularly collectable, and a Various Artists EP from 1968, 'State Of Flux', fearuring Fingal McCool, Zebedie's Morgue and The Blend is also reputed to be sought-after.  At least three label designs were used.  The original one, with the name in an arc at the top, is most common, and it was still in use in 1973, though some singles in the late '60s came with a 'boxed' logo.  The powder-blue label is the most recent of the three shown, dating from 1974.  James Johnston appears to have been responsible for producing much of Grampian's musical output.  After it stopped issuing its own records the company concentrated on manufacturing cassettes, and later CDs, for other companies, and was a major supplier to the likes of EMI, CBS and Polygram.  It is reported to have gone into liquidation in 2003.
