CANTERBURY POP
An independent label, presumably from the Canterbury
area. There were at least two records on Canterbury Pop, both by
Longport Buzz and both dating from the turn of the decade. The first
was the 'Canterbury Pop' EP (BUZZ-13; 1979); the second was a single, 'Fun'
(BUZZ-14; 1980?). 'Fun' was promising enough to deserve a reissue, on
the Criminal Records label, as SWAG-14. The Buzz's music has been
described as being like that of Jonathan Richman - quirky stuff, one would
imagine. Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan.
