An obscure label from 1979. A single by Rock band Trader, 'Back Street Trader' b/w 'Love On The Run', seems to have been BOS's only release. The majority of sources don't give it a catalogue number, but one mentions 'OE-1'; the music on the record is variously described as NWOBHM and AOR, and the band was from Southampton. The label itself was one of those which has a picture on one side and the writing on the other. I haven't seen an illustration of the picture side, but the one with writing on was white with black printing. It had 'BOS records' in two lines at the top with a black line underneath, the 'BOS' being in a plain non-italic font, the 'records' being in a gothic font. The band's name, in big letters, was at the bottom of the label; the 'A' side title was at nine o'clock, the 'B' at three. The prohibitions around the upper part of the label were in a handwriting font. Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the label to my attention.
