A bit of a mystery. All I know about Axis Records is that the company was based in premises in Salford Road, London W2 and that it made two records (both of them EPs) by pupils at Sherborne School for Girls. ARL-125 featured the School Choir on one side and the Chamber Orchestra on the other, playing 'We Wait For Thy Loving Kindness, O God' and four other tracks. ARL-126 was split between the School Choir and the Madrigal Society; there were five tracks on it, starting off with 'Lift Thine Eyes To The Mountains'. Both were issued in 1970. The recording engineer in both cases was Peter Sidhom, which may indicate that the studio / label was his. The numbers suggest that there may be other Axises out there, but if they exist googling has failed to reveal any trace of them. Thanks to Malcolm Henderson of the 45cat site for bringing the label to my attention and for allowing me to use his scan. Scans of the other labels and the sleeves can be found by following the link.
