HOLLICK AND TAYLOR
RECORDS

 Hollick & Taylor label was a small recording studio run label in Birmingham.A subsidiary of Grosvenor Records.  The type of music which appeared on Hollick and Taylor seems in the main to have been the same kind of thing which appeared on Grosvenor - Organs, Brass Bands, etc - but it looks as though the label served as an outlet for records which were made privately at the Grosvenor studio in Handsworth.  Presumably the Taylor family, who were the owners of the studio, would record and have pressed limited runs of singles, EPs and albums for any artists who were prepared to pay for those services.   Some of those artists had recorded, or would record, for other companies: the Rockin' Berries had a number of hits in the '60s, and Unicorn made a single, 'Going Home' (HT/SP-1258) before signing with Transatlantic.  Singles and EPs shared the same 1000 numbering; EPs were prefixed HT/EP with an additional 'S' if the record was stereo, while singles had an HT/SP prefix, again with the conditional 'S'.  Hollick and Taylor was the original name of the Grosvenor studio when it started up, in the early '60s. The test pressing  is numbered HT EP 1094; at a guess it dates from the mid '60s.  See also the 'Highland Arts' label.
