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.
