The third book in this series is about the Famous Charisma label which was founded by Tony Stratton Smith in 1969. Limited edition to 1000 copies. Language - Russian, English, 352 pages, approx. 1800 pictures, 760 labels, 261 sleeves. In this book, the third in the 'The Famous British Collectable Record Labels' series, they are rendering the story of the Charisma record label. Yet it would be wrong not to touch upon B&C Records, which had been closely associated with Charisma label for more than five years. Here's the main story with a brief outline of B&C Records and its subsidiary labels like Stable, Pegasus and Mooncrest, beginning with its launch in 1963. Getting ground in music recording industry, B&C promoted artists, which performed ska, blue-bit, rock-steady and, a bit later, reggae music. That prompted the author to write on a number of B&S subsidiaries, the most prominent of which was Trojan Records, and also such interesting labels as Treasure Isle, Amalgamated, Big Shot, Down Town, Clandisc, and others. This book, as well as the previous books in the series, offers an extensive description of the label designs of the abovementioned record-labels, all provided with illustrations. Practically all the albums mentioned in the book are much in demand with record-collectors. The book also contains interviews by artists and engineers, namely Martin Cockerham, the founder of the British folk-band Spirogyra, singer/songwriter and guitarist Keith Christmas, and mastering engineers John 'Jonz' Dent, George 'Porky' Peckham and Tony 'Tone' Bridge.
