An outlet for the productions of violinist / independent producer Alan J. Peters. AJP appears to have issued around a dozen records in or around 1976-77, all but one of which were albums. Happily for the purposes of this site, there was a solitary single in amongst them. The single, which was entitled 'A Bi-Centenary Tribute', offered The Band Of H. M. Coldstream Guards playing 'The Stars And Stripes Forever' on one side, and The Band Of H. M. Welsh Guards playing 'The Battle Hymn Of The Republic' on the other. It came out in 1976, and its catalogue number, AJP-1005, was taken from the series that was generally used by the company for its LPs. Pressing was by Orlake. AJP's products seem to have been aimed at the Military Band / MOR / Christmas markets. Peters went on to produce a series of albums for TV-advertised label Ronco during 1978-82, and also produced a large number of albums with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from 1993 into the 2010s.
