Blue Horizon Records was the UK’s most influential blues label. The label was founded by producer Mike Vernon in 1965. For the first two years, Vernon operated the label as a mail-order business with tiny numbers of records pressed. From 1967 the label was distributed by CBS and by Polydor from 1970.
