MUSIC FOR PLEASURE

RECORDS

Label started in 1965 as a joint venture by Hamlyn and EMI Records selling low cost re-issues; there was also some original material. EMI providing the music and Hamlyn the publishing. The logo around this time has 'Paul Hamlyn' and 'EMI Records' circling the 'mfp' logo. MFP had offices in various countries including Amsterdam, Brussels, Johannesburg, Köln, London, Sydney, Paris and Stockholm.At some point in the early seventies Hamlyn pulled out and EMI took control. MFP remained an independent company in Belgium. Also at this time a parallel label Sounds Superb was created.MFP carried on throughout the '70s, but at the start of the 80s ran into trouble. This was due to changes in technology and major label rationalistions. MFP ended up as little more than a worldwide distribution network.From 3rd April 2006 MFP is being revived under the control of EMI Gold. Please note, the 60s and 70s series of records for children had the Surprise Surprise logo label name these words over a bunny logo. Many of the releases say "Music For Pleasure - London & Sydney", although releases exist with "London & Johannesburg" or even just London on it's own.Several different numerical series were used, starting with NO-0 for the first twenty-six issues and moving on to FP-0 for issues 27 to 66.  In 1972 numbering was changed to the FP-10000s; the label doesn't seem to have survived past FP-10067, which came out c.1975.  For most of its life the label was yellow in colour, but items in each series occasionally appeared in different colours such as grey, blue, green or red.
