ORANGE
RECORDS

An offshoot of Clifford Cooper's famous firm of amplifier-makers, the Orange label ran from 1969 to 1974; it had a subsidiary, Amity, which failed to make it into the '70s.  Early issues appeared on a two-tone orange and blue label, which eventually lost the blue colour, in the latter part of the label's existence it changed its design, appearing in a slightly sombre dark-brown-and-gold form, and lost its company sleeve.  Manufacture and distribution were by Pye.  Orange Records never matched the success of Orange Amplifiers, and are becoming increasingly hard to find nowadays.  John Miles made several singles for the label, but found success only when he left it and joined Decca.
