CLUB
RECORDS
Independent label: Club Records was a sub-label of
Phonogram Ltd. (London). Distributed By Phonogram.
Undoubtedly an important label in the UK for chart-oriented Funk and Electro in
the 1984-86 period, just before the House explosion. The distinctive green and
black sleeves with their diagonal stripes promised funky beats and club sounds
of the highest order. Biggest act was Larry Blackmon's Cameo, which had a string
of Top 40 hits peaking with "Word Up" which spent 13 weeks in the Top 75 and
reached number 3. Other big club hits that brought chart success to the label
included Shannon (Let The Music Play, a "sleeper" that peaked at 14 but spent 15
weeks in the Top 75), Rene & Angela ("I'll Be Good" peaked at 22) and Cameo
proteges Cashflow ("Party Freak" / "Mine All Mine" - no. 15) A few releases
dabbled in gogo and rap sounds from the likes of Richie Rich and Kurtis Blow,
but the old 80s Soul/Funk sound started to give way to house music in 1986/7, so
Club became home to some early UK House and Acid from the likes of Brandon
Cooke, Krush and Electribe 101 (plus glorious one-off This Ain't Chicago),
before fading away. The acts moved on or were subsumed into other labels of the
parent Phonogram/Polygram group.
