ANGLO



Something of a mystery.  I have only ever seen references to two 7" records on the Anglo label, both of which are shown above: they were 'Two Timer' b/w 'No Matter Where I Wander' by The Skysounds (11/1 and 11/2; 1966), and Wild Country's 'Song Of The Lonely Traveller' b/w 'I'm So Happy Today' (TPMA-11/5 and 11/6; 1972).  Each side had its own catalogue number; presumably there is an '11/3' b/w '11/4' out there somewhere.  Matrix number of the Skysounds single was TPMA-101, and it has 'Recording first published 1966' on it, which would indicate that the company put out three singles in six years, as the Wild Country record dates from 1972.  As schedules go it seems a little on the thin side, but it's not impossible.  There was also at least one album, 'Bobby Fisher At The Hammond Organ, Vol. 3' (TPM-148 / 3), which was from around 1969; the title of that record suggests that Vols 1 & 2 ought to be out there somewhere.  Composer / performer Fisher was a common link between all three releases, so perhaps Anglo was his company.  The 'TPM' of the prefixes suggests a link with Tony Pike Music Ltd (q.v.).
