Dover Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the British popular record label. For information about the earlier American classical label, see Dover Publications.

Dover Records was a British record label that was formed about 1989.

Recordings on the Dover label reached number one in the albums chart several times with compilations related to the magazine "Smash Hits", starting with "Smash Hits Party '89".

Dover was a subsidiary of Chrysalis Records and incorporated another Chrysalis offshoot, Flutterby Records. The change-over from Flutterby to Dover was so messy that a single by Steeleye Span, "Following Me," appeared on the Dover label under a Flutterby number - "FLUT 4". The label evidently disappeared in 1991.
