Attack record label - historical info

Here's some info on the Attack label, the one that Moz signed to (hopefully), a legendary reggae-dub-etc. label.

Attack 12"s
Attack record label info

The Attack imprint started life in 1969 as part of the Doctor Bird group before becoming a fully fledged Trojan label in the early 1970's. Some one in Neasden must have liked it as it lasted till '77/'78 and with the odd exception kept the same label design for its entire life.

        Reggae and Moz? (Score:1)
        I distinctly remember Moz saying something to the effect that rap and reggae music was racist. Check out "Morrissey in his own words". There's also countless interviews confirming this. Oh well....

        Why not Sanctuary itself? Or at the very least Rough Trade?

        Okay - first off, this seems like a little label of a bigger label. I agree, why doesn't Morrissey just sign to one of his old labels? I've heard his new music, and it's excellent. Go Morrissey! Whatever you're doing, good luck with the new record. Can't wait to hear it!

          An educated guess... (Score:1)
          Sanctuary is releasing all of their reggae back catalog strictly on the Trojan imprint, irregardless of what other Trojan-controlled reggae imprint (Big Shot, Horse, Upsetter, et al) it was first released on. When Sanctuary bought Trojan, they also bought all the trademark names and logos that came with it. Therefore, it is safe to presume that Sanctuary are using the Attack imprint for a different form of music.

            The way he wrote the fax is pretty damn clever.
            He says...he's signed to "attack" on sanctuary.

                    All you need is a good distribution organization. I guess Sanctuary can provide that.
