Cube Records is 50 years old today.

In February 1972 FLY Records released its last single, well, from its first incarnation, Georgia Brown’s ‘Turn Out The Light’, backed with ‘I Scare Myself’ (a Dan Hicks song that later found chart action with Thomas Dolby).

The following month Fly released a series of four EPs under the ‘MagniFLYS’ banner; & ’s EPs each peaked at #7 in the British chart; and ’s EPs were just fabulous in their own right.

With Marc Bolan opting to set up his own label the decision was taken to re-launch Fly under the new imprint .

Fly’s label manager went along with the plan but soon got itchy feet and jumped label to Polydor where he had great success relaunching Neil Sedaka’s career.

Recently signed artists were readied for the launch of Cube, including who had been signed in November 1971.

The launch date for Cube Records was set for the 26th of May 1972 and a memo circulated around the Fly Records office listing Cube’s initial releases which focussed mostly on singer/songwriters as represented by Rod Taylor and Harvey Andrews. Also included was The Gasoline Band, a genre defying musical force worthy of that moniker who realistically were never going to be marketable to anyone but lovers of the unexpected groove, oh, and BBC disc jockey/presenter Whispering Bob Harris, the band’s key champion.

Following this initial brace of releases came Joan Armatrading’s critically acclaimed Cube album which forged her own individual path into the world of music.

Some of the Fly catalogue – like the T. Rex album- were reissued under the CUBE imprint for a few years before Cube was rested in 1982.

If you want to hear Harvey Andrews, Joan Armatrading and the Gasoline Bands music they are all on music services:

50 years ago ’s debut album burst into record shops. Remastering the record revealed a few interesting aspects of its sequencing, notably that two tracks originally included by were removed/replaced within 24 hours just before it went for lathe cutting.

It is a strong debut set and an anomaly in Joan’s extensive and majestic catalogue as it primarily reflects songs from a creative partnership with .

Anyway, whilst the 50th anniversary repressing slowly cooks on the pressing plant conveyor belt, do please dip into the record if you have a Sunday morning moment and are susceptible to this kind of message.

(Why is this not posted on the Cube Records page? Joan and Pam signed to our production company during the Fly Records era, 7 months before Cube Records was launched. So the album is back where it would have been, maybe).
