PAGEANT (2)
A short-lived label, the existence of which was presumably
inspired by the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II - both its releases were
Jubilee orientated. First up was a double album featuring a mix of
news, sporting events and songs from 1952-77, introduced by Roy Castle, 'A
Silver Jubilee Of Memories' (SJM-001/002). Secondly, and lastly,
there was the EP shown above, a selection of competition-winning fanfares and
marches played by members of the C.W.S. (Manchester) Band (SJM-003). Both
came out in 1977. The EP was pressed by Pye, the company which seems to
have licensed most of the musical material for the LP.
