BLACK LABEL RECORDS
Black Label is a Nashville, Tennessee record label, owned by Larry Blackwell, who previously bought HSE Records from Hoyt Sullivan (founder and owner of HSE Records and his other labels) in 1979. The label was originally listed as a division of HSE Of America. Black label issued mostly LP’s with a minimal number of 45’s. The Black Label lp's are from 1979 through the 1980's. Major groups with the label included Willie Banks and the Messengers, Howard Hunt and The Supreme Angels and others. In the early 1980's the label was distributed by MCA Records; by record number 9624, the label was being distributed by Audiofidelity Enterprise, out of Rahway, New Jersey. By release 9628 the label was based at 519 Capobianco Plaza, Rahway, NJ.
The LP'S in the 3000 series and the early 9600 listings still had the HSE of America Inc wording on the label, but listing the catalog numbers with BL3000, BL3002, BL9609 etc.. Album 9606 is an actual album with 9 songs on it, for some reason it is titled Come To Me/Satisfaction Guaranteed which would be mistaken as a 12' or a 45.
