The Able Label was an independent record label from Brisbane, Australia.
Grant McLennan & Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens released their first two singles 'Lee Remick' & 'People Say' on it in 1978 and 1979. Later, it allowed other Brisbane groups, The Numbers (later to become The Riptides), The Apartments and the Four Gods to press their own records using the Able Label logo. One such band that missed out was RAZAR who were refused permission to use the logo on their seminal 1978 single Task Force. Abel Records were limited pressings ranging from 500 - 700 and are now considered collectors' items.
Famous quotes containing the word label:
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
