ARCTURUS



The only single on the actual Arcturus label to which I have ever seen any reference is the one which, by courtesy of Robert Bowes, is shown above: 'The Circus Keeps On Turning' b/w 'Motor Car Madness', by Everyone Involved.  It was issued in 1972 as part of a 'Save Piccadilly' campaign, and its catalogue number was ARC-3, which suggests that there were at least two others.  It is possible that the missing two records may have accompanied a language course called 'Fast English' which was put together by Alan Wakeman and published by Rupert Hart-Davis Educational Publishers in 1971.  There was certainly one such EP, featuring four songs written by Alan Wakeman, recorded by Piccadilly Circus and published by Arcturus Music; its subtitle was 'English Fast, Songs 5-8', which rather implies the existence of 'English Fast, Songs 1-4'.  An example can be seen on the 45cat site.  The involvement of Alan Wakeman in so much Arcturus music suggests that the label may have been his.
