SPLASH
RECORDS
Independent label: owned by Chas
Peate; thus the 'CP' in prefix which the singles used. Splash's first
record, 'Sky High', by Jigsaw (CPI-1; 10/75), reached No.9 in the Singles
Charts, but none of its subsequent releases managed to match that performance -
all subsequent singles used a CP prefix rather than a CPI one,
incidentally. Another Jigsaw single, 'If I Have To Go Away' (CP-11;
6/77) crept into the Top 40; but after that, nothing. Initially
Splash was handled by Larry Uttal's 'Private Stock' records and was distributed
by EMI. Private Stock closed in 1978, but Splash kept on going; it
had lost the 'Private Stock' logo on its label by the summer of 1977. 1979
saw a move to Pye / PRT and a change of catalogue numbers, to
SP-000. Later the numbering was changed again, to the CPS-1000s; the
label was still releasing singles in 1988. The discography below only
covers the 1970s. Distributed By Pye PRT
Record.
