BLACK HOLE
A one-off DIY label from Scotland. An EP by Rock
band Kruza featuring 'Movies In The Night' and three other tracks was Black
Hole's only release. It had a catalogue number of BHR-101 and a matrix
number of CS-7246; the latter shows that it was made through Craighall Studios
of Edinburgh, and enables us to put an approximate year to it. CS-7252 was
an EP entitled 'Folk On The Fringe '76' (see 'Folk On The Fringe '76' for
details) , which suggests that the Kruza record was from 1977 or
thereabouts. The label was of typical simple DIY appearance, being black
with silver printing; it has 'BLACK HOLE RECORDS' at the top in two lines.
If you see a copy grab it - they're apparently quite collectable. Thanks
to Stephen Small for bringing the label to my attention.
