Ann Bishop's management agency seems to have been responsible for just the one record: an EP by pianist Monté Simpson, recorded live at the opening night of his 1978 season in the Carlton Hotel, Great Yarmouth. I would guess that the EP was made available to the public either later that year or during the 1979 season, though according to a handwritten note my copy was bought at the Carlton in July 1980. The catalogue number was ABM-1, and pressing was done by RCA. There's no company identification on the labels but the letters of the prefix correspond with those of Ann Bishop Management, which according to the sleeve was responsible for co-ordinating the EP. At least one other client of the agency had made a record previously, an album called 'Howard Beaumont Plays The Hammond M-100', but it came out on a mainstream label, Joy (JOYS-256; 1973).
