BANG
RECORDS
An independent label, Bang was started in 1965,
in New York City, by Bert Burns, with help from three of his friends from
Atlantic Records - Ahmet and Neshui Ertegun and Gerry Wexler. The
label's name was made up out of the initials of the first names of the four of
them. Irene Burns took over the running of the company when her husband died, in
1967. It moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1973, and was sold to CBS nine years
later. As far as Britain is concerned, Bang made its debut late, in
1976. The label made its mark with disco hits by Brick ('Dazz'; BANG-004;
1977) and Boiling Point ('Let's Get Funktified'; BANG-013;
1978). Manufacture was by Phonogram, which explains the
injection-moulded labels. Distributed By Phonodisc. Thanks to Robert Lyons
