UNICORD
RECORDS

 Independent label: Unicord Records had links to CAM Studios in Moorfields, Liverpool, run by electrical engineer Charles Weston, the studio began life as a genuine demonstration studio. Weston also provided a 45rpm service for those wishing to have a single recording to tout around publishers and record companies. This service was named 'Unichord'. All artists who received their Unichord disc from CAM had to guarantee payment for the entire process, including studio time and microphone use, in addition to final pressing. By the mid-1960s a few local artists such as the Almost Blues and the Blue Mountain Boys had recorded for this label, but it was an expensive business. By 1966 the CAM label had been introduced. The deal was that the artists would not only pay for the recording but also multiple pressings and packaging to order. Basically CAM provided a product that could be retailed. Local shops did take the recordings but there is little evidence to suggest that CAM records sold elsewhere. Thanks to Michael Crawford For The scans.
