Satril

Satril Records was a UK label and subsidiary of HHO. Satril started out as a management agency in 1969, and issued its first batch of records in 1972-73. Eleven singles were released, in a SAT-0 numerical series. An early duck-egg blue label was replaced by a yellow one, with red printing, in the same design, when SAT-9 came out. There appears to have been a lull after this; but in June 1974 HHO signed a five-year licensing deal with Pye Records Ltd.. The agreement stated that for the first year Henry Hadaway's records would be released on Pye but that the Satril label would then be reintroduced if required. Satril did indeed make a comeback, with a new label design and a new numbering system (SAT-100). When the licensing deal expired, towards the end of 1977, Satril switched to WEA for distribution. The catalogue numbering was unchanged and the label design remained fundamentally the same; the Pye logo at the bottom disappeared and the Warner Communications logo appeared at around the two o'clock mark, and a company branded sleeve came into use. In general the fare on offer seems to have been a mixture of Pop and Disco music. Satril label and publishing now officially administered by Good Time Records, Nashville.
