Anchor Records

Anchor Records was a UK based record label, co-founded by Ian Ralfini and the American Broadcasting Companies, which owned ABC Records in the United States, in 1974.[1] ABC Records marketed (distributed) Anchor albums in the US, and Anchor Records issued many ABC albums in the United Kingdom as "ABC Records Marketed by Anchor Records."

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.

gollark: *I Quite Like CSS*
gollark: There are a ton of weird quirks in HTTP which lead to vulnerabilities from proxies and backend things parsing them differently.
gollark: For example, imagine an HTML sanitization library for blogs or something which parses HTML differently to browsers.
gollark: *And* sometimes things interpret invalid things in different ways, which causes security issues.
gollark: And that means your thing has to keep including flaky backward compatibility hax to keep broken stuff working.
