Ficklefingers Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Anyone know anything about this label and/or it's output of 45's please?TIA Fingers
Ady Croasdell Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I got the impression it was a made up label for YouTube that someone had done. I've never seen a vinyl copy. They put one on an OC Tolbert 45 of ours.
YourArsenal Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 That was my impression also. A few of the ones they have up don't have a 45 release at all, as far as I know.
Chalky Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I've never seen one in the flesh either, only on youtube.
Mickjay33 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 was looking for Etta James Can't Shake It on Flying Witch Records but could not find it anywhere. now been told its a bootleg so it probably is a boot label
Ficklefingers Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Thank you for the feedback thus far peeps, and I concur with the sentiments about it being a 'bespoke' label as opposed 'official' given that it's 'output' appears (from my wife's digging at least, along with the comments on here) to consist predominantly of tracks that otherwise were either never issued on vinyl, or exist as studio acetates only. I think it's safe to say any 45's on this label design are simply carver type discs with a made-up label stuck on for aesthetic purposes - a cool label design it is too, I think at least. It seems the label is the conception of an individual from Spain(?), but an interesting (and clever) choice of name - when you delve into the origins for the term 'Flying Witch'. The resulting implication of which being that the guy behind it actually put considerable thought into his selection of it as a/his label name... Useless info really - but nonetheless interesting to this sad individual, at least (and obviously having nothing better to do with my time..)
The Yank Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 The Flying Witch in the logo appears to have been "borrowed" from the one they used in the opening credits of the U.S. TV show "Bewitched" in the early years of the program.
