RECORDS
Independent label: Inferno Records was Owned by Neil Rushton. Inferno was a label specialising in imports of American Soul records, primarily to meet the demand generated by the popularity of the Northern Soul scene. In the late '70s distribution was by One Stop. Many of the singles seem to have been reissued in 1983, through Pinnacle, with the same catalogue numbers but bearing a 'Neil Rushton' label. Singles were numbered in a HEAT-0 series; there were at least twenty-seven of them. There appear to have been some Inferno-label singles with different prefixes - 'BEAT', for example - but with the same distributor during the period in question; was Rushton's Inferno branching out into other kinds of music? The Inferno which numbered its singles in a HELL-0 series dates from the early '80s and was handled by Rough Trade; presumably that was a different company.. Distributed By One Stop Records.
