Indigo Records / Indigo Sound Studios

A UK label which pressed many (if not all) of it's releases in Ireland.
Indigo and Indigo Sound were the in-house labels of Indigo Sound Studios
in Manchester. The studio was owned by Dave Kent-Watson whose
background was in sound engineering (he'd worked for the local ITV station Granada).
Many famous Manchester indie releases were recorded at Indigo, the Buzzcocks "Spiral Scratch" EP for one.
Indigo Records appears to have been reserved for pop and soul while
Indigo Sound releases appear to consist of folk acts for the most part.
I say
'appears' as I haven't seen enough records to be sure of these conclusions and
there are exceptions.
Many of these records were pressed in Ireland by EMI which results in them
being mistakenly described as Irish, e.g. Guggenheim's sought after LP.
The Cave of Living Streams LP exists both with and without the Indigo logo.
