Target was started by The Tom Costello Organization in 1967. The address on the company
bags is 65 Lower Lesson St, Dublin 2. Target's products were
distributed in the United Kingdom by Pye
records and hence they used the same
numbering and catalog system as Pye (Info
from Paddy Brennan's Golden Era of Irish
Showbands).
Apparently every Target release has a Pye UK equivalent pressing.
A full list of Irish artists released on Pye is also available here.
Not to be confused with the mid-70s pop/soul label that was the home of The Marmalade, The Nolan Sisters,
Blue Mink, etc.
