A DIY label. B. L. E. seems to have issued just the one record, an EP by Country band Ben Lee Rivers & Smokey Road, 'Jody And The Kid', which came out in 1975. It was recorded by custom recording concern Magnum studios (q.v.), from Hyde, and its catalogue number, MAG-0008, was borrowed from Magnum's own numerical series. The music is what you'd expect - decent covers of American material - and Ben Lee had (has?) an authenically smokey voice. Presumably B. L. E. stood for 'Ben Lee Enterprises' or something similar. Manufacture was by Phonogram, as the injection-moulded label indicates.
