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.
