TASH
RECORDS
Independent label from Norfolk: Tash Records was owned by
Terry Smith-Howell. If the catalogue number of the Second Opinion single
'King Of The Raceway' b/w 'Stormbird' - This record was played at Swaffham
Raceway every time a race winner was paraded round the track in the start car,
which continued until the Raceway changed hands in 1987. TASH-0035 - is any
guide, Tash should have issued at least thirty-five records. The internet
however, reveals only two others: an album by the same band, 'A Matter Of
Opinion' (TA-002) and a 1977 album by System, 'On The Other Side Of Time'.
The latter had no catalogue number, but had a matrix number of 1861 DT-29.
That there were thirty-two other releases and they have disappeared without
trace seems highly unlikely, so perhaps the '0035' was nothing more than a typo
or a made-up number. News of any other Tashes would be very welcome.
Distributed By Tash Records. Second Opinion are a Norfolk Band. Members were
Robbie Goodyear (Bass Guitar), Ian Gillon (Drums) & Ted Starkings (Lead
Guitar) Ronnie Broughton (Rhythm Guitar) & Mel Holman (Vocals). Thanks to
