Obscure (UK)

Profile:
Mid 1970s conceptual label run by Brian Eno, which was initially marketed through Island Records. During the Island period all the catalogue numbers had the prefix OBSCURE NO.

When the catalogue was bought by Polydor in the late 1970s the catalogue prefix changed to OBS.

All releases were later reissued by Editions EG (EGED 21-30).
