The Rocket Record Company
1973
Believe it or not, this was the letterhead of The Rocket Record Company Ltd, the label Elton John founded in 1973. A model railway enthusiast, he pushed subtlety aside and insisted that a distorted Thomas the Tank Engine lookalike should command their office stationery. For the label’s launch, he even chartered a train to whisk journalists and guests from London to Moreton-in-Marsh. Because why not?
