Trainman 28th Jan 2015		You want something REALLY scary? I noticed Summit was part of Pickwick International. By 1973 here in the US Pickwick releases were showing an address that suggests they may have gotten in bed with the K-Tel conglomerate!



Neil Forbes 28th Jan 2015		As the photographer said as he stood in his dark-room - "It's an interesting development!"(ha-ha) But seriously, it's interesting that while MFP broke away from EMI here in Australia, in Britain MFP remained an integral part of EMI, even to this day. But in Australia, MFP has just about vanished, as has Summit.



TopPopper 28th Jan 2015		In the early 1970s (1973 I think), the Australian Summit label relocated its offices from Atchison Street, Sydney, to the address mfp were using - 176 South Creek Road, Dee Why. You can see it noted on the back of this LP. So, at that point both labels were operating from the same premises. Of course the label design coincidence pre-dates that by some way, but it seems these "rivals" weren't altogether in competition with each other.



Neil Forbes 28th Jan 2015		It's a strange and curious thing.... Here in Australia, Music For Pleasure had split away from EMI because they were issuing content by artists and groups not in EMI's "fold" Summit was issuing much of the same as MFP here. Now I don't know who the company was that processed the discs, but it must've been the same handling both labels and that's likely the reason why the MFP and Summit layouts were so similar(apart from colour schemes), a job-lot design, just substitute one trademark for the other.



TopPopper 28th Jan 2015		I get what RC is saying - this Australian Summit label apparently used white rims around the blue ovals, whereas this (and all the TOTP ones I've ever seen) have black rims, as shown here. Don't know why that would be, although one LP on this site has yellow!



Neil Forbes 28th Jan 2015		Hi, Zabadak! The Brit and Aussie Summits are indeed branches of the same company, the logo's the same here in Australia as well, as is the label design.



zabadak 28th Jan 2015		I suggest, then, that this Sumit is a different beast to the UK one (not just a local issue of the same doobrie)... :erk:



Record Collector 28th Jan 2015		Interesting as summit would have the familiar blue and white by this time



TopPopper 16th Jan 2015		? Looks black to me.



Record Collector 16th Jan 2015		Interesting that the outer part of the label would be white rather than black



TopPopper 8th Oct 2013		Yes it does! And what's more, those same red mfp labels were in use in Australia, with the mfp office based at the same address as the Summit label. So, no coincidence I feel...



djraggy 8th Oct 2013		Is it me, or does the label design look uncannily similar to the Music For Pleasure LP labels?
