The label of producer Don Todd's 'DTP' company. Vanessa seems to have issued just one record: an EP by Steve Holford, 'This Is My Life', which had a catalogue number of VRS-101. In addition to the tracks shown on the scan above the EP offered versions of 'Didn't We' and 'Just In Time'; the material is of the 'Club / Cabaret' type. There's no date on the labels, but fortunately the first buyer of my copy wrote on one side the date on which he bought it - June 1974 - along with his name. I'm quietly confident, therefore, that the EP came out in that year; or perhaps, if sales were slow, the year ealier. Presumably the 'Vanessa' pictured on the label was the Todds' daughter. Pressing was by Orlake. Thanks to Robert Woodhouse for bringing Vanessa to my attention and for providing a scan, and to Mario for providing the date.
