Elpeco

Continuation of the record manufacturing plant S.A. Fabeldis in Groot-Bijgaarden (Belgium) after the bankruptcy of S.A. Fonior N.V. in and the takeover of Sobelpress S.A. by Druco in January 1980. By this time the plant was good for 70% of national production. Its managing director was Jan Neef and the sales manager Georges Martens (who'd already been there since the time of Fabeldis). In 1987 the company was fully incorporated into Druco, relocated to Halle and renamed Druco Music. Vinyl pressings can normally be identified by an etched letter from the end of the alphabet (R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z) and number (1 or 2), both rotated 90°. Occasionally the letter is omitted. Sometimes these etchings are misinterpreted, e.g. as N followed by an arrow (N⇀) instead of Z1. Please add these codes to the runout fields as normal character and add a note about the orientation.
