A DIY label, owned by a two-man band called 'Twice As Nice'. Their first EP, a three-tracker featuring 'Going Places', 'Follow Me Round' and 'Have You Been Along Way' came out on the CAE label (q.v.) in 1974 and also came out on TAN with the same catalogue number, TAN-001 (1). As yet there's no telling which was the original issue and which the re-pressing. There's no date on the second EP, which featured 'Hometown', 'Thoughts Of You' and 'Dan Dare Rides Again' (TAN-002), but that also is reported to be from 1974; the label had a hard-to-deceipher logo, as does CAE. Paul Winsall, who was kind enough to draw TAN to my attention describes the music on that record as being good Pop, with swirly organ and proggy overtones. Some copies came with white labels (2) instead of blue ones (3). The third - and apparently the last - TAN record was an EP by Peter Wood, which offered versions of 'Surrey With The Fringe On Top', 'The Impossible Dream', 'If Ever I Would Leave You' and 'More'. It had a blue label and a catalogue number of TAN-003, and again, sadly, was undated. There was a Twice As Nice connection to it in that the duo provided the backing.
