White Noise Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Noise Records was a record label founded in Los Angeles in 1978 by artists Ronn Spencer and Louise Spencer, writers Nicole Panter and Jim Bickhart, attorneys Gordon Rubin and Peter Paterno, and publicist Bob Merlis.
White Noise's first release was the 7" EP "Live At Surf City" (1978), by VOM, a short-lived, punk ensemble led by notorious rock critic Richard Meltzer and featuring future Angry Samoans Gregg Turner and Metal Mike Saunders.
The label's second release was the self-titled 12" EP Avengers, featuring vocalist Penelope Houston. This 1979 release was produced by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols.
The label closed in 1980, but was briefly revived in the 1990s by archivist Keith Bollinger, who released historic recordings by The Mutants, Rozz & Negative Trend, Young Canadians, and Rubber City Rebels. White Noise's final release in 2003 was a live recording of the 1978 Miner's Benefit at San Francisco's legendary Mabuhay Gardens, featuring performances by U.X.A., Sleepers, Negative Trend, and Tuxedomoon.
