PAGEANT (2)



A short-lived label, the existence of which was presumably inspired by the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II - both its releases were Jubilee orientated.  First up was a double album featuring a mix of news, sporting events and songs from 1952-77, introduced by Roy Castle, 'A Silver Jubilee Of Memories' (SJM-001/002).  Secondly, and lastly, there was the EP shown above, a selection of competition-winning fanfares and marches played by members of the C.W.S. (Manchester) Band (SJM-003).  Both came out in 1977.  The EP was pressed by Pye, the company which seems to have licensed most of the musical material for the LP.
