I think you'll find a HUGE 70's band... 18 Years, 4 Months ago

Father Abraphart and the Smurps charted at 58 in 1978 on flexi disc alone.
Not only was it "unsigned", it was "unpressed".

After charting, to the fury of the chart compilers, it was signed up and released on traditional Magnet vinyl by Michael (Lord Checkpoint) Levy who always had an eye for a dodgy wheeze.
