Comet was owned by Nigel Fletcher and Rob Woodward, founder members of both Stavely Makepeace and Lieutenant Pigeon. It managed at least four singles in c.1977-78, one of which was by Trevor East of 'Tiswas' fame. The singles shared a U-6300 numbering series with those of the almost equally obscure Unigram Records (q.v.), which company was presumably responsible for marketing them. Messrs. Fletcher and Woodward were based in Coventry, so presumably Comet had its headquarters there. Distribution of the Trevor East record was by Lugton from February 1978, but the '1977' on the single suggests that it may have been available elsewhere earlier. The discography below lists both Comet and Unigram singles The only three of them that I have seen in the vinyl were Orlake pressings.
