A one-off label from 1972. Big League's sole offering was a single coupling 'Up The Spurs' by The Cheers with an anonymous piano-led instrumental version of John Brown's Body, rechristened 'Spurs Go Marching On'. Its catalogue / matrix number was TC SP-1, which looks very much as though the single was made through custom recording firm TC Records (q.v.) of Polzeath. Pressing was by British Homophone. Tony Carr wrote, directed and / or arranged both tracks, so it seems reasonable to guess that he was the man behind the company. Helpfully the labels give the name of the record's distributor: Sports Souvenirs, of High Road, Tottenham. The single must have sold well enough to merit a couple of pressings, as it can also be found with silver-on-pale-blue labels. Thanks to Stephen Small for bringing Big League to my attention.
