THE FAMOUS CHARISMA LABEL MUSEUM
[Mad Hatter]

Welcome!
Charisma Records was a British record company which existed from 1969-86, and here you will find detailed discographies and other information about the company and its artists. I enjoy hearing from people who want to "talk Charisma" and will be happy to try to answer questions.

CHARISMA AND B&C ARTISTS: I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
 If you recorded for Charisma or B&C, even if it was just one single or unreleased sessions, I would like to hear your story! I'd love to hear your reminiscences and am also interested in your "post-Charisma" life.

I would also like to hear from anyone who worked for or was otherwise associated with either company in any capacity!

    THE ARTISTS
  • The Artists Main Page
    This page now has links to artist information, and as time permits I will add more. I will include links to any artist websites that I know about. If you have information about an obscure Charisma or B&C artist, please share it with me! I will credit you on the Acknowledgements page.


    WRITE TO ME!
    If you have any comments, reactions, questions, or additional information, click here to send me e-mail! In recent years I have been extremely busy with my career and have not always been as responsive as I'd like to be, but I do try to answer all emails. If you've written to me and not heard back, please try again!


    DISCLAIMER: I am not a record company or A&R man. I am a music historian and record collector and have no connection to Charisma, Virgin, EMI, or any related entities. This website is a tribute to a record company that released its final records in 1986, so don't ask me where to send your demo tape unless you just feel like sending me some free music!
