TM
RECORDS
TM Records was a small independent / DIY label, from the
Weymouth area. Information about TM has been difficult to come by: it
would appear to have been a recording facility run by Trevor Matthews, and it
was responsible for at least three records in 1973-74. Two of them -
'Arthur Woffinden At Weymouth Pavilion' (DER-934; 1973), and 'By Request' by The
Allstars, Weymouth (TM-2; 1974) - were LPs, but the third qualified TM for this
site by being an EP. It was by The Alderney Middle School Choir, Recorder
Group & Percussion Group, and it was called 'With Best Wishes'; its
catalogue / matrix number was DER-919, and according to its sleeve it was
recorded in June 1973 - presumably it was released shortly afterwards.
Tracks on it were 'Jamaica Farewell', 'Edelweiss', Zepperl Polka' and 'Nuns
Chorus'. As the 'DER' prefixes indicate, the EP and one of the LPs were
made through custom-pressing firm Deroy. News of other releases would be
gratefully received, as indeed would more details or a scan of the label. Thanks
