The UK 'Peacock' label had nothing to do with the American label of that name. Its only mention in 'Music Week' was an article in the issue of the 6th of May 1972, which reported that it had been formed by agent Terry Young and that distribution of its records by President and the British Independent Record Distributors group had been arranged. Sadly Peacock turned out to be short-lived. It appeared and disappeared within the span of a few months, leaving behind a mere three singles: a brassy Rocker from Turnbull & Arkwright, and two Singer/Songwriter things by Peter Nelson - ex Peter's Faces, Flowerpot Men and White Plains. Printed in gold on a black-and-white background, Peacock labels had a striking appearance; demo copies were marked with a small central gold 'A' (2). Manufacturing was by British Homophone. Numbering started at PEA-500 and ended at PEA-502. There aren't many Peacocks around, today.
