A small independent label, part of the Interspear Music Company, working out of premises in Queens Close, Lammas Lane, Esher. Flight received just one mention in the Trade press: 'Music Week' of the 26th of August mentioned that it had been started up by Brian Smith and said that a pressing and distribution deal had been signed with Rediffusion; albums by Robert Rigby and the Reading Girls' Choir were in the pipeline. The article mentioned that Brian Smith had had a production deal with Warner Bros previously, but this seems to have been limited to an album and a single by Bruce Forsyth, both in 1975. A single by Robert Rigby, 'Blue Star' b/w 'The Man I Was Going To Be', came out in September, with a catalogue number of ETA-1, but neither of the albums mentioned by 'MW' seem to have seen the light of day. However, an album by the Bulmershe Girls' Choir, 'Girls Sing The Boys' (FLT-1 LP; 1978) did reach the shops. Those two records appear to have the only Flights that got off the ground. Pressing of the Robert Rigby single was by Lyntone. Rigby made two more singles and an album for Rediffusion's 'Fusion' label (q.v.) in 1979 but none of them seem to have had any connection with Brian Smith or Flight. Interspear is still going today (2020) as a Music Library Productions concern, under Brian Smith, and is based in Chumleigh, Devon.
