SUSSEX
RECORDS
Independent American label: Sussex Records was owned by
Clarence Avant and based in Hollywood. Sussex started life in 1971, and
was distributed by Buddah in the States; its records appeared on A & M in
Britain initially, with a 'Sussex' logo added. The Sussex label as such
appeared over here in 1974, via B & C, when the company's agreement with
A&M came to an end. It issued nine singles in an SXX-0 numbering
series, before folding in mid 1975 when B&C hit terminal financial
difficulties. The American label only survived its British offpring by a
matter of months. Pressing of most of the singles was by EMI. Avant
went on to found the much more successful Tabu label. Thanks to
