TREND
RECORDS


 Independent label: A moderately obscure label, owned by London record dealer Barry Class.  Trend operated from 1968 to 1972. Its first batch of singles, dating from 1968 and numbered in the TRE-1000s, there was at least ten of them, and their labels were pale blue with a purple logo.  In 1970 Pye took over manufacture and distribution; numbers changed to a TNT-50 series and a new label design was adopted, Trend didn't stay with Pye for long; before the end of the year they had moved to Philips.  Numbers changed again, this time to a 6099-000 series, which reached at least 6099-010, though some of these were used for overseas-only releases.  The company never had any hits, and it doesn't seem to have survived into 1972. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info. Barry Class was a property tycoon and owner of the Disci record shop chain in the UK. He became the manager of the Multi-racial group The Foundations who are known for the hits "Baby, Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup". Distributed By Saga Records.
