There were at least four Eagle labels in the '70s. This appears to have been the first to take flight. As the label states, it was based in Rothwell, Northants; the EP shown above, featuring four medleys by the Warren Eagle Trio (DT-27), seems to have been its only release. The DT-00 series was used by Beck Recording Studios (q.v.), from the same county. There is no date on the label, but Steviebgoode of the 45cat site has managed to fix DT-26 at 1976, which would suggest that this record came in that same year. The music on it consists of straightforward keyboard / bass / drums instrumentals; the format and the appearance of the label suggests a self-financed product from a Club / Cabaret band. The 'Company sleeve', which appears to have been home-printed, is a nice touch.
