PAGEANT
(1)
The earliest of two Pageants from
the '70s, this appears to have been a one-off independent
concern. I have only ever seen one record on the label, the
single shown above: 'Ride Ride Ride (Dick Turpin)', by Smoke - presumably the
same band which had a minor hit with 'My Friend Jack' in 1967. It
came out in 1971, with a catalogue number of SAM-101. The fact that
the publishers are 'Mr. Sam Music' suggests a link with Monty Babson's Morgan
Studios, whose publishing company that was. Pressing was by
Orlake.
