A small independent company based in New Barnet, Hertfordshire. Counterpoint issued around ten records in 1972-73 before evolving into Canon Records (q.v.). Most of them were albums but happily for the purposes of this site one of them was a 7" EP. It featured Norman Rimmer playing three pieces on the organ of Waltham Abbey: Bach's 'Fugue in E Flat "St. Anne"', 'Fantasy Frie Sonata No.1' by Paul Hindemith, and 'Largo, Allegro, Aria & Two Variations' by Michael Festing. Its catalogue number was CPT-999. As can be seen, there were no dates on the labels, but CPT-997, an album by Jacqui & Bridie 'At The 10th Anniversary Of The Coach House Folk Club', was from 1972, which gives us a 'Not before' date. Thanks to Gianpaolo for bringing Counterpoint to my attention, and to Ade Macrow of the 45Cat site for permission to use his scan here.
