There was a library label based in South Africa, called "Music From Africa".

To date there are 4 known releases:
MF 001 - Swazi Message - Idlozi
MF 003 - Big Band Bash ‎– Township Jive
MF 005 - Sotho Chant ‎– Traditional Rural Music
MF 007 - Mothotlung Boys Choir ‎– Sotho/Tswana (Unaccompanied)

"South African library music from the early ’80s. They were recorded and produced by Johannesburg musician/producer Tom Mkhize and released then on vinyl only to be sent to TV and radio stations, as well as cinema productions (never commercially available)."

Blimey, that's a brilliant find! I'll see if I can find any more info and make a thread on these.

edit: The thread is up. I think I've identified all of the remaining releases.

Certainly! Post any updates you might have in the thread - or send me photos of the records and I'll do it :)
Congrats on the haul, also ;)

I noticed that Pyramid DOES have a topic here in Labels https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=1428.0 but doesn't seem to be indexed here.

How about the South African label Mood Music with Nick Labuschagne? Looks Library-related to me.

I never imagined that a great variety of libraries would come to exist, even in Spain music libraries have been founded. Sometimes it is good to consult this type of information. Thank you very much for the great work Mr.
