Point Blank Records [SEP] inception
Point Blank Records
Point Blank Records is a record label subsidiary of Virgin Records.
Point Blank Records was founded in 1988 by John Wooler. Wooler served as Deputy Head of A&R at Virgin Records UK from 1984 to 1994 and Senior Vice President of Virgin Records US from 1994 to 2002. He had a passion for blues, Americana and soul. His manager, Simon Draper, granted him a small budget to create the label. The first act signed to the record label was Larry McCray followed by Albert Collins and The
Records. Its inception was the result of Moscow's distributor almost going into administration and the cost of pressing vinyl being too high to continue. Releases on Moss Co. have been charted by Maher Daniel, Julie Marghilano, Enzo Siragusa & Archie Hamilton.
Present day.
In 2015 Hamilton released the commercially successful singles ‘Mind Blank’ and ‘Works On Sunday’ on FUSE. The summer saw the launch of a new project, ‘Arkityp’ with fellow FUSE London resident, Rossko, hosting five events in the summer
