PIZZA
RECORDS
Independent label: Pizza Records was a label of the
Pizza Express Jazz Club, of Soho. Pizza seems to have managed just a
handful of releases, all of them during the period 1979-81. The vast
majority of them were albums, which were mostly numbered in the PE-5500s, but
there was at least one single, a seasonal 'taster' from the Ruby Braff LP 'Braff
Plays Bing' (PIZZA-5501) A Lyntone pressing - LYN6208 / LYN6209. The album
was recorded in November 1978 but most sources give 1979 as the year of release
for it and for the single. Tracks on the single were 'White Christmas' and
'Swinging On A Star', and it had a catalogue number of PIZZA-1. The
albums' labels featured a picture of a pizza, logically enough; it's a pity that
the ones on the single weren't of the same design - they look dull by
comparison. Distributed By Pizza Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
