PLANET
RECORDS
This Planet, the earlier of two to appear
in the '70s, was one of the labels of Isa Bell Productions, of 10, Amherst
Parade, London, N16. It managed at least two singles. Both of them
EPs. The first was by Harry Kayne, 'Live At The Grosvenor Rooms', which
was issued in 1970 with a catalogue number of MPA-333. According to the
blurb on the picture sleeve it was supposed to be the first in a series of five
by Harry, but there's no trace of the other four. The second Planet EP
came out the following year and coupled 'No Smoking', a side of advice on how to
stop smoking, by Frazer Hines and Patricia Barnett-Rhodes, with a track by
Frazer Hines and the Echoes, 'Wallaby Sue' (MPA-555). Hines had made an
earlier venture into the world of records with a single for Major Minor in 1968,
'Who's Dr. Who?' b/w 'Punch And Judy Man'. Isa Bell Productions was
responsible for at least one other label: see 'Magpie (1970)'. The company
was dissolved in January 1976. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
