That was my impression also. A few of the ones they have up don't have a 45 release at all, as far as I know.

was looking for Etta James Can't Shake It on Flying Witch Records but could not find it anywhere. now been told its a bootleg so it probably is a boot label

Thank you for the feedback thus far peeps, and I concur with the sentiments about it being a 'bespoke' label as opposed 'official' given that it's 'output' appears (from my wife's digging at least, along with the comments on here) to consist predominantly of tracks that otherwise were either never issued on vinyl, or exist as studio acetates only. 

I think it's safe to say any 45's on this label design are simply carver type discs with a made-up label stuck on for aesthetic purposes - a cool label design it is too, I think at least. It seems the label is the conception of an individual from Spain(?), but an interesting (and clever) choice of name - when you delve into the origins for the term 'Flying Witch'. The resulting implication of which being that the guy behind it actually put considerable thought into his selection of it as a/his label name... Useless info really - but nonetheless interesting to this sad individual, at least (and obviously having nothing better to do with my time..) :rofl:

 

The Flying Witch in the logo appears to have been "borrowed" from the one they used in the opening credits 

of the U.S. TV show "Bewitched" in the early years of the program.
