Nevis

Profile

A label with a Scottish slant, though it operated out of London. 'Music Week' of the 19th of June 1975 said that Nevis was the brainchild of expatriate Scottish folk singer and songwriter Jim McLean; he had launched his own company after failing to interest any of the majors in Scottish material. By that time it was operating out of premises at Onslow Gardens, London N10 (it started out at 34 Tudor Close, SW2), and it had twenty LPs on catalogue; it continued to be mainly interested in the LP format. An article in 'MW' of the 22nd of November 1975 gave Nevis's distributors as Rediffusion in England and Wales, with Clyde Factors and Record Enterprises doing the job in Scotland.
