TEEJAY



Another one of those sad cases where all I can do is point to the existence of a label.  TeeJay issued at least one single, 'Look Now' b/w 'Angela' by Turnstile, which came out in 1972 and had a catalogue number of TJ-101.  It was produced by Jeff Wayne.  The label design was striking: it had the company's name at the top in capitals in an arc which went about a third of the way around the label.  The letters were coloured fawny yellow with brown grooves resembling those of a record going across them.  Three small solid blocks of fawny yellow with the same grooving occupied most of the rest of the label's surface; the group's name and the song titles were in the bottom block, and the background colour was white.  Printing was in black.  I hope that's clearer than I think it is.  The overall effect was too impressive for a DIY effort - perhaps TeeJay was a small independent or an outlet for a music publisher.
