PEACOCK (AT
prefix)
The label
of Peacock Sound Studios, of Newport, Isle of Wight. Peacock was
owned by Tom Taylor; it operated from around 1975 to 1977 and issued at least two singles, 'Dance Apache'
b/w 'Jelly' by Wightsound (AT-842;
3/75) and Neon Rainbow's 'Steppin' and Stridin' b/w 'Moon Godess' (AT-843; 5/75). There were
also two albums of Country music, one each by Brian Munro and Ian
Attrill. Catalogue numbers, which were in an AT-840 series, reached
AT-846, but as yet I've not been able to track down ATs 841 and 844. The
material on Peacock has a 'custom recording' look to it, but it may have been a
case of a local label recording locally popular artists.
