TRAFFIC



Traffic would appear to have been a small independent label.  It issued at least one record: a single by UK Country unit Haz Eliot with Feeling, 'Annie (Do You Know)' b/w 'With Pen In Hand', which had catalogue numbers of TR-106 and TR-107 (one number for each side) and came out in 1975.  The numbers suggest that there ought to be other Traffic records out there, but so far there's no sign of them; if they exist, they too may possibly be in a country vein.  Haz Eliot and his band made two albums around that time: 'Haz Eliot With Feeling' on custom recording label SRT (SRTM-73344; 1974), and 'By Demand' on Westwood (WRS-074; 1975).  I'm fairly certain that the appearance of the label, with that pronounced bevel and the narrow raised area around the spindle hole, indicates a Linguaphone pressing.
