Cow Pie

An independent British Country label, set up by B. J. Cole and based in Palmers Green, London N13. In association with United Artists, Cow Pie Productions issued three singles, by Cole himself, Nancy Pepper and Thom Fricker, in 1978-79, and there was also a Nancy Pepper album. The singles were marketed by United Artists, with EMI being responsible for manufacture and distribution, and they shared a numerical series with UA's own singles. Cow Pie appears to have struck out on its own in 1980, severing the connection with UA and introducing a new label design and PIE-000 catalogue numbers. At least five singles and two albums were issued from 1980-82; the artists involved were the Hank Wangford Band and Ricky Cool. The label reformed in 2019 with releases from Hank Wangford, Ags Connolly and BJ Cole.
