RECORDS
Independent label: Deacon was primarily concerned with the 'budget priced album' market. It issued around eighty albums during the three years of its existence, 1970-72; some contained original recordings, others re-recordings of hits of the time. 'Pick Of The Pops Vol. 4' (DEA-1015) was notable in that it featured a not-yet-famous Elton John singing on several tracks. Eight tracks from that album were issued as two EPs, both of which were called 'Top Of The Pops Vol. 2'. They came out in 1970 and had catalogue numbers in the DEA-5000s. DEA-5022 featured 'In The Summertime', 'Lola', 'Yellow River' and 'Up Around The Bend', while tracks on DEA-5023 were 'All Right Now', 'Natural Sinner', 'Neanderthal Man' and 'It's All In The Game'. There were twelve tracks in all on the LP, tracks on DEA-5021. The Wonder Of You / Rainbow / Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours / (It's Like A) Sad Old Kinda Movie. Deacon made at least one other 7" record, however: an anonymous promotional single for Top Rank entitled 'Let's Play Bingo'. It had no catalogue number, and it appeared in 1971.
