One of the Pye group of labels. According to Billboard magazine of the 27th of October 1979 Pye launched Blueprint as a Contemporary Rock label in an attempt to freshen the company's image. It arrived on the scene rather late for the purposes of this site, its first records appearing in September 1979. Fifteen singles were released during 1979-80; one of them, Karel Fialka's 'The Eyes Have It' (BLU-2005; 3/80), registered briefly in the Singles Chart, getting to No. 52. Records by Mod band The Crooks and New Wave outfit The Reputations are apparently starting to command decent prices. The company sleeve had no writing on it to identify it. Promos were marked in the standard Pye way of that time, with a large black 'A' in the centre of the label. The discography below is complete, to the best of my knowledge: BLU-2004 has yet to be accounted for and may not have been issued.
