BW
(1)
The first of two BW labels, both of which came
on the scene in November 1979. As it says on the label, this
particular BW was the record label of Brent Walker Records and Music Division
Ltd, which was presumably an arm of George Walker's leisure and cinema
company. I've only been able to trace one record on BW, the
single 'I Feel Lucky Tonight', by The Stylistics; it did however come out twice,
being first issued in November 1979, with the catalogue number BW-1, through
Charmdale (1), and then again, in February 1980, with a new number (SBW-10),
through CBS (2). I generally try to avoid putting 1980s labels up,
but in this case it seemed reasonable to make an exception for the sake of mild
interest; so there it is. 'I Feel Lucky Tonight' was taken from the
soundtrack of the Brent Walker film, 'The Bitch'; oddly, it wasn't featured on
the Warwick Records album '20 Smash Disco Hits Including The Original Soundtrack
'The Bitch' (WW-5061; 1979), but 'Just Like We Never Said Goodbye' - which
isn't listed as being on the film's soundtrack - does appear on that
record.
