- Sonet (UK)The British arm of Scandinavian company Sonet Records was created by Rod Buckle at the dawn of the 1970s. Their most prolific signing was Brett Marvin &The Thunderbolts, who enjoyed a huge hit with ‘Sea Side Shuffle’, under the guise of Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs (and licensed out to UK Records). Confused?! Well, the band’s blend of gutbucket blues and pub rock led to five albums, including a solo venture from future star Jona Lewie. Other notable acts signed by Buckle included singer-songwriter Mick Audsley, late 60s blues band Blue Blood, American Svengali Kim Fowley (a compilation of rarities), British R&B favourites The Inmates and 80s heavy metal act Glasgow.
- SoulMusic RecordsSoulMusic Records was initially formed in 2008 as a logical outgrowth of the website bearing its name, considered one of the top sites for classic and contemporary R&B and soul music. The site was originally created in 2000 by David Nathan, renowned R&B historian, author, sleeve notes writer and music journalist.
