JM
RECORDS
JM Records was a DIY
label. It managed one single. Recorded at Craighall Studios in
Edinburgh - PR 1240 and pressed by Jeffrey
Ltd. The Record was made by members of the Dundee FC first team squad. It issued
singles in 45-HH-100 numerical series. Distributed By JM Records.
Dundee FC have one of the first ever examples of what happens when football
& music get together to make pop records.
In 1962 the Hector Nicol single
called "The Dundee Song" was released in which all of Dundee's team get a
mention in the lyrics as a tribute to them becoming Scottish League Champions.
Hector, however, was an entertainer, not a footballer and there were no players
involved in the recording. In 1964 up popped Hammy & The Hamsters, a group
formed entirely of Dundee players. Alex (Hammy) Hamilton, Kenny Cameron, Andy
Penman, Alex Stuart, Hugh Robertson & Craig Brown. All were first team
players at the time. They performed on stage locally as well as recorded. In
April 1964 they came out with a pop single called "My dream came true" on 7 inch
vinyl, which is now extremely rare. Needless to say it sold mostly in Dundee and
surrounding area only.
