The Anchor Records label was black with silver print. The logo, at the top of the label, was a British sailor with an anchor behind him and the words "ANCHOR RECORDS LIMITED" above the sailor's hat and the word ANCHOR below. Anchor ceased operations in 1978, when ABC Records was purchased by [[MCA Records]]. ==Partial discography== ===Singles=== *16 528 AT: [[Stretch (band)|Stretch]] - Why Did You Do It / Write Me A Note (7") *ANC 1002: [[Ace (band)|Ace]] - [[How Long (Ace song)|How Long]] (7") *ANC 1004: [[Brett Smiley (singer)|Brett Smiley]] - Va Va Va Voom / Space Ace (7") *ANC 1008: Phillip [sic] & Vanessa - Two Sleepy People / You Know (7") [1974] <ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Phillip & Vanessa* β Two Sleepy People|url=https://www.discogs.com/Phillip-Vanessa-Two-Sleepy-People-/master/1078514|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-03|website=Discogs}}</ref> *ANC 1017: Philip & Vanessa - Love / Baby I Loved You (7") [1975] <ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Philip & Vanessa β Love|url=https://www.discogs.com/Philip-Vanessa-Love/release/11208446|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227013421/https://www.discogs.com/Philip-Vanessa-Love/release/11208446 |archive-date=2021-02-27 |access-date=2020-11-03|website=Discogs}}</ref> *ANC 1021: Stretch - Why Did You Do It?
