"IBC The Internationally Known London recording studio, is to start its own label to be known as UPC Records.
Heading the venture will be Eddie Tre-Vett, and plans have been laid following a year's market research into current production techniques
and trading trends. UPC will concentrate on quality rather than quantity and will commence releases early next year upon completion of a pressing and distribution deal with a major international company. Tre-Vett revealed that UPC will also be in the market for leasing deals and shared expense projects as well as producing its own discs"

Eddie Tre-Vett left toward the end of 1970 and Cash Box reported in Feb 1971 that the label would be suspended but still promote the back catalogue
