Bill Dean Myatt went to EMI recently and was amazed at the file index card info on back recording Scots artists from c.1920's on. I can put you in touch with his details if you'd like and there could be a cheaper way of getting info.My guess at the Nixa green label for the Pro Arte recordings is only a guess because other light music appeared similar to the Coates's type of repetoire.Sorry if I am erring there David.
