Chapter One Records
is a company originally set up by Composer, Les
Reed OBE, in 1968, to house popular and middle of the road recordings featuring
singers, orchestras and big band music, to retain the trend of quality material
and to compete with the rock explosion that was happening at that time.
The catalogue encompasses such diverse products as Folk Music, Classical
Recordings, Choirs of Britain, Steel Bands, Country Music, Jazz, Popular Music
and Orchestral Music as well as famous comedians that can sing!
The Chapter One Records roster of Artists, contains a very wide selection of
musical acts, covering all genres of music that will appeal to a wide audience.
The entire catalogue is available on CD.
Top 10 this week!
“Marching On Together” written by
Les Reed and Barry Mason and sung by Leeds United FC went straight in to the BBC
Radio One Top 40 singles chart at No. 10 this week. It is also No. 1 on the BBC
Radio One Indie Charts! Lovely news indeed for Les and his wife, June, who are
celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this very week.
Based purely on downloads, the single was re-released after Leeds United gained
promotion to the Championship earlier this month. The single was originally
released in 1972 and went into the charts at No. 10 on the 27th May, exactly 38
years ago!
Strangely enough, The Rolling Stones also reached No. 1 in the album charts in
the same week as Leeds United in 1972 and, lo and behold, they are No. 1 in the
album charts this week with the very same album.
