Comments and Reviews


LaurenceD SUBS 25th Feb 2024		Added alternate side 1 label with A2 title "Fugue For The Ox"; however my cover listing is the same as image 2026232.



PhilMH 18th Jun 2020		Emus was actually owned by Roulette, though it's not evident from the US copy, unless you happen to recognise their address as also being Roulette's! When I was Googling for information on this album yesterday, one thing that came up was that Emus was apparently an example of Roulette boss Morris Levy's black humour, with the name being an anagram (or, more precisely, a reversal) of "Su Me"! I'll have a look at the other two PKL prefixes in a bit, but I suspect that they are late 70's also, as Pye's usual prefix before that was NSPL.



rocket666 18th Jun 2020		Thanks Phil for rapid checks, and pprint. This release seems to relate to the US Emus label reissue, somehow missing out on any legal wrangle. And how does this effect the other Pye PKL prefix albums here (only two so far as i see) but both, oddly, dated 1969 also I think??? Sorry, no. Both 1970.



ppint. 18th Jun 2020		philmh: pye records was in the process of collapsing in chaos (cf. "fainting in coils" but, um, somewhat less organised) - robert (i think it was) holmes à court (sp?) had come in as a "white knight", brought in by lew grade to save the floundering atv empire from certain other xxxxian clutches, proved to have rather less cash & credit than he'd represented himself to have & have access to, various parts of the empire disappeared off/got disposed of in all different directions bit-by-bit or in fell swoops, even the rights to use the "pye" name, logo etc. were about to determine - and no-one seems to've thought it worthwhile negotiating a new licence, or even an extension to the old - quite possibly no-one remembered (!) - so the label would somewhat panickily (sp?) get renamed "precision", and then re-renamed "prt", the piccadilly label get resurrected and then re-abandoned... - and some pye (etc.) label product receive pye international cat#s and some pye international product receive pye cat#s - "situation normal - all fucked up" seems to've been the only remaining reliable-upon rule.



PhilMH 18th Jun 2020		I've found a couple of my own sources to substantiate 1979; 1984 Music Master catalogue gives April 1979 as the date, and that is somewhat supported by the album's listing as a new release in Gramophone's June 1979 issue, which was probably published in early May, meaning that an April release would most likely have missed the deadline for the May issue. Now, I wonder why this was released on plain vanilla Pye, instead of Pye International, which was the usual label for releases from Roulette? Pye International still seems to have been going in 1979, and on the newer gray-fading-to-white label too!



PhilMH 18th Jun 2020		Discogs has this as 1979, which is most likely right in view of the label design, plus the fact that it was repressed on PRT the following year after the rights to the Pye name had expired. Also, this was licensed from Roulette, which Pye didn't have the rights to in 1969 or 1970, because Major Minor did, and then the rights moved to Polydor in 1971. I suggest taking a look at the copyright block at the bottom of the back cover, because 1979 is most likely shown there - that's how Pye handled their Stax reissues, anyway.



rocket666 17th Jun 2020		How can this be 1969, when the liner notes clearly say an original US issue in 1970??



ppint. 4th Oct 2019		track a2 title would appear to be in error for "fugue for the ox": but it is as given on both the uk record label and the uk lp sleeve.
