ANTILLES RECORDS
Antilles Records was an American record label that was a subsidiary of Island Records. Most of its acts were British folk and alternative acts on Island and sometimes, in Gary Shearston’s case, Charisma Records. Antilles are best known for first introducing The Slits and Nick Drake to American audiences. Its jazz catalog is now managed by Verve Records. (More from Wikipedia)

In 1977, the manager of Black Oak Arkansas, Butch Stone hired Blackfoot as the backing band for Ruby Starr. She was a former back-up singer for Black Oak Arkansas who was emerging as a solo artist. Ruby Starr previously performed with a backing band called Grey Ghost.
