BELTONA
RECORDS

 Independent label:  The Beltona label was mainly dedicated to Scottish music, though it had broadened its scope to include Irish music by the late 1950s.  It dated back to the 78rpm era, becoming part of the Decca group in 1933.  Early 45 rpm records had a blue label; dates from 1950.  By 1959 a tartan-patterned label had replaced the old blue one, with a red tartan for Scottish product and a green one for Irish.  Singles were numbered in the 2000s: Scottish ones were prefixed 'BL', Irish ones 'BE'.  EPs were numbered in the 00s (starting at 50?); again there were different prefixes for the different sources, 'SEP' for Scottish, 'IEP' for Irish.  In the 70s Beltona appears to have concentrated on issuing albums; it issued its last single, the Jim MacLeod one pictured above, in 1974, but continued to release albums for some time afterwards.  The company sleeve  dates from 1959.
