I forgot about Fairweather, Andy Fairweather-Lowe of Amen Corner's band. By the way, it's Shape of the rain, not Shape of the train. http://rateyourmusic.com/list/alabaster/record_label_list__3 __neon |

Neon was dead by 71 and Virgin's first album is Tubullar bells from mid-73, so I doubt that if influence there was, it would ve the other way around
for other label logos check this thread http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5063&a mp;KW=labels |

These are the NEON releases in the beginning of the seventies before it failed. |

I think the only thing I have on the Neon label is a single called "Woman" by Shape of the Rain. Not bad though.

I've also seen the Indian Summer album on CD in specialist stores. And Deram even had a subsiderary, which released 'Igginbottom and Jan Dukes Gray. How's your memory for the big record companies' new age labels, e.g. what was EMI's that released Ian Carr, post-Nucleus. Which Phillips subsiderary label released John Themis and Hubbards Cupboard - in other words labels which not only had new age artists, but other types of music whichthe label's were trying to repackage................ RCA had Private Music for instance. And in the UK Windham Hill floated - I think starting with Pye. |

Yeah good one this "Tonton macoute".
I do love "Natural high", and the allusion to the sweet leaf. |

NEON label was to RCA what the Vertigo of Phillips or the Harvest from EMI or Deram was to Decca
I believe Spring, Indian Summer and a few more Tonton Macoute is excellent, but slightly indulgent. |

Apart from Centipede and Touton Macoute, who else recorded on the Neon label?

TONTON MACOUTE was a great jazz-rock progressive band who released the eponymous album in 1971 on the Neon label which unfortunately failed a little later. The album consists in long most instrumental tracks with long flute solos like TRAFFIC and melodies. Highly recommended!!! |
