A one-off DIY label from 1976. The Jay Pees were a Rock / Pop band from Cheetham Hill, Manchester. Band member Joe De Biase, in a posting on the Manchester Beat site says that they changed their name to Taxi, toured with the likes of The Rubettes and Showaddywaddy and made several LPs; these appear to have been only released in Germany - a list, illustrations and song samples can be found on the '70s Teenpop blogspot. The band sound moderately young on these two tracks: 'Down Town Girl' has a slight Country Rock feel, while 'Electric Chair' is Rockier. The catalogue number, HP-53, was one of a series used by the Stag Music company (q.v.) for its custom recordings, and pressing was by Phonodisc.
