| Utopia
Records was owned by producer Phil Wainman, a stalwart of the Glam years,
and was linked to his Utopia studios and music publishing firm. The
studio released a lot of acetate one sides singles. Utopia scored a novelty
Top 20 hit with its first real single: Richard Myhill's, "It Takes Two
To Tango" - mainly by virtue of making it available in square form (TANGO
1) as well as in the usual round shape (6007-167). It was the first
time that a square record had been issued, and it started something of
a craze for shaped singles. Subsequent Utopia singles were round and were
less successful. |
