A London-based publishing company, dedicated to promoting the cause of the right-wing British Union of Fascists / Union Movement. Most of the Sanctuary Press's products were books, but it issued several records of speeches by Oswald Mosley, the founder of the movement. The EP shown above, 'Mosley Speaks - Royal Albert Hall, April 22, 1934', came out in or around 1974 and was made through Deroy Records, of Carnforth: it had a catalogue number of MRK/OM/1 and a matrix number of DEROY-1075. The only other EPs that I have managed to trace were undated. Their labels were white with black printing, and they had a large picture of Oswald Mosley at the top. Their catalogue numbers, RRE-3 and RRE-5, suggests that there may have been others in the series; CD reissues seem to indicate that there were four altogether. There was also at least one LP, 'The Voice They Cannot Silence' (SSS/OM/2) which contained a speech given in Kensington Town Hall in 1963. Sanctuary Press closed in 1992. Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my attention, and to Col. Wolfe of the excellent 45cat site for permission to use the scan.
