Harp

There appear to have been at least two labels bearing the Harp imprint. One was certainly owned by Shamrock Souvenir Records and operated in the 1970s; its releases are listed with the ‘Harp’ prefix and consist of several reissues of material originally released by New York’s Dublin Records.

The second Harp label, prefixed ‘HPE’, was a subsidiary of the London-based budget label, Pickwick.

Thanks to John Cummins for his additions.
