By all accounts, Apple had been a fiasco, so it is surprising that other bands such as ELP (Manticore) & Moody Blues (Threshold) also started their own labels. Does anyone know what happened to Manticore ? They had recruited such successsful artists as PFM, Banco & Pete Sinfield, so it is surprising that ELP's Works then appeared on Atlantic. If more prog bands had successfully developed their own labels, could they have better weathered the storms of the late '70s ?
