BAAL
RECORDS

Independent label: UK label founded in the mid 70s by Jay Shotam of October Cherries. The original Baal label was founded in Singapore by his band in the late 60s. Baal seems to have been mainly aimed at the Disco market, but its catalogue includes at least one Reggae single, 'Move Up Starsky', by The Mexicanos (BDN-38037), and a record by a Rock band - the Agnes Strange responsible for 'Can't Make My Mind Up' (BDN-38048) was in fact a power trio rather than a female vocalist. Somehow Baal survived for long enough to issue a respectable number of singles, none of which are commonly found nowadays. Singles were numbered in the BDN-38000s, but as yet I have been unable to find any reference to a number before BDN-38029, which came out in October 1976. The highest number which internet sources have yielded was BDN-38055, was issued in 1980, by which time the company had split from Pye. Distributed By Pye Records.
