Plant Life Records was a record label. It existed from 1977 until 1984. It was formed by Nigel Pegrum at that time drummer for Steeleye Span. Maddy Prior recorded one album for the label, as did Wizz Jones in 1977. The most successful recordings were by The Tannahill Weavers and Blowzabella. Most of the 30 or so albums were produced by Pegrum and 7 were produced by Paul James. Late in the life of the label it began issuing records under licence from other labels and was linked to the Burlington record label which was also issued with the Plant Life logo on the later labels.
