ROCHELLE
RECORDS
Independent label: Rochelle Records
appears to have been an outlet for a publishing company called Magenta
Music. It was responsible for at least a couple of singles, 'This Is A
Woman' b/w 'Lonely Without You' by Carlton Lees (MM-001; MID-5441 / possibly
5442), and 'The Busty Barmaid' b/w 'The Zider Tree' by Jim Ladd & Scrumpy
(MID-5444 / 5445) - if the latter had had a catalogue number it would presumably
have been MM-002. Songwriter Phil Anthony wrote all four titles; he had
another published by Magenta Music in 1984, 'Over The Top Over You' (a copy of
the sheet music is in the British Library). I would guess that he was
closely associated with both Magenta and Rochelle, The MID-prefixed numbers on
both singles would appear to have been used by the recording studio at which
they were made. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
