MR. BIG



A London-based one-off Reggae label, owned by Mike Dorane.  Mr. Big's sole release was a single by Fitzroy (Henry) & The Heart Breakers, 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'; it had a catalogue number of 001, and came out in 1975.  The following year a version of the song, credited to Fitzroy Henry, was issued as the first single on the 'Rockers' label, which was a joint venture between Dorane and Island Records, so he must have had faith in its commercial potential.  Thanks to Mark Griffiths for the ownership information, and to Sven / Stampkool of the 45cat site for permission to use his scan of the label.
