An independent label devoted to individual and collective releases by the members of Post-Punk band The Homosexuals. The Homosexuals' first single appeared on the Lorelei label (q. v.) in 1978. They put out a handful of releases on Black Noise, in various formats, using a NO-0 numerical series for most of them. The band's 'Bigger Than The Number... Yet Missing The Dot' EP (NO-1; 1979) and L. Voag's solo EP 'Move' (MOVE-1; 1979) were the only releases from the '70s to be in 7" form. The former was pressed in clear vinyl and it offered the tracks 'You're Not Moving The Way You're Supposed To (Parts 1 & 2)' and 'Prestel'; the latter had a blank white label with hand-stampings on it, and it contained the tracks 'Beauty Spreads', 'Aural Terrorism', We Dress Up Our Ideas' and 'According To Freud'. Thirty years on, The Homosexuals have achieved cult status, and Black Noise records have become collectable. Thanks to Robert Bowes for supplying the scan.
