 | ppint. Member since Aug 2012 6452 Points | - hi; i know that the transformations, some directed by take-overs & sales, of the catalogue that (mostly?) had once been pye records', would fuel several years' worth of "transcription transformers" tv/radio series, but the 45worlds.com separation of pulse, castle pulse, castle music (possibly pulse), (plc or ltd) ,etc. seems to lack any semblance of coherence, clear cut-off dates (or even sensible transition periods) - and they seem to largely share record/cd cat# series, overlapping all over the place in date, and time - "and meaning..." - _is_ there any semblance of order underlying, with rules or general principles that can separate them - or do they really all belong together in the one cat# sequences (and release dates), and should be collected in one listing ? - puzzled, from poulton-le-sands.

 | Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4151 Points Moderator | I've been hoping someone would be able to say how these several labels are related. There are so many that seem to be related: Castle Pulse Castle Pulse Castle Music Castle Select Castle Pie Castle Classics Castle Communications How should these be linked? |

| plocky45 Member since Aug 2012 2813 Points | I've been thinking about the same thing for Castle Communications and its sub-labels. I actually started creating label lists, which also included Raw Power and Essential, but its still a work in progress. |

 | Fokeman I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5166 Points Moderator | They're all part of Sanctuary music group. I once went in search of Topic Records' original base in Bishops Bridge Road near Paddington Station. Just where their old offices were, was a load of new buildings and the numbering went haywire. I stumbled into an office to find out if they knew where the address was and found that after walking down a long dark corridor I was at the reception desk of Sanctuary. There were posters (framed of course) of Iron Maiden - the very first group I went to see in 1979 on the walls and a very dark, strange atmosphere. It explains why it is called Sanctuary Music Group because "Sanctuary" was the first major record they released - it came from "Metal For Muthas" Vol 1 and only just after the live EP "Soundhouse Tapes". I left without even finding the person who worked at reception. |

I've started working on this for CD Albums, but the whole excercise will need repeating on other Worlds |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4151 Points Moderator | How confident can we be that Topic is connected with Sanctuary? The addresses shown on Topic CDs is 50 Stroud Green Road, that on Sanctuary is Leatherhead Road, Chessington Perhaps these two need not be linked |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4151 Points Moderator | We will probably find many entries need editing: for example CMRCD239 has been entered as Sanctuary but it might qualify as Castle P.S. The list of sub-labels is too long to fit in 'Notes' for Sanctuary so it's gone in the biography Edited by Juke Jules on 8th Jun 2015, 1:26 AM |

They're not linked, I think fokeman was saying Sanctuary are in Topics old offices not that they were linked as such? |

| plocky45 Member since Aug 2012 2813 Points | Up until 1999/2000, Castle Communications was the main label, with Castle Classics, Essential etc. as sub-labels. Following the Sanctuary takeover, Castle Music was formed to include the sub-labels of Castle Communications, so by 2000 Castle Music will, for example, appear alongside Sanctuary. |

The old Union buildings had long ago been demolished to make way for the office blocks, one of which now contains Sanctuary. |
