TASH
An independent label from Norfolk,
owned by Terry Smith-Howell. If the catalogue number of the Second
Opinion single 'King Of The Raceway' b/w 'Stormbird' - TASH-0035 - is any
guide, Tash should have issued at least thirty-five
records. Googling, however, reveals only two others: an album by
the same band, 'A Matter Of Opinion' (TA-002) and a 1977 album by
System, 'On The Other Side Of Time'. The latter had no catalogue
number, but had a matrix number of 1861 DT-29. That there were
thirty-two other releases and they have disappeared without trace seems
highly unlikely, so perhaps the '0035' was nothing more than a typo or
a made-up number. News of any other Tashes would be very
welcome. According to the 45 Revolutions Blogspot the System
record has become very collectable.
