Blue Horizon
Blue Horizon Records was a British blues independent record label, founded by Mike Vernon in 1966.
History
Its roots lay in Vernon's mail order label Purdah Records, which released just four 7" singles; including "Flapjacks" by Stone's Masonry (featuring Martin Stone, later to join Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby); and another by John Mayall and Eric Clapton "Bernard Jenkins", and "Lonely Years". Only 99 copies of each are thought to have been pressed - limited originally to avoid purchase tax - although it has also been said that the number was as high as 500.
After briefly forming the Outasite label, Vernon switched to Blue Horizon in 1966, issuing singles and a small number of now-unobtainable albums by U.S. blues artists, including Doctor Ross. A world-wide licensing and distribution deal with CBS heralded the glory years of the label. Starting with two 7" singles with combined CBS/Blue Horizon stamps featuring Fleetwood Mac and Aynsley Dunbar there followed a string of singles and albums by both British and U.S. blues artists, both licensed and newly recorded. Some releases featured Mike Vernon produced recordings of U.S. artists such as Otis Spann and Champion Jack Dupree, backed by British blues players such as Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, Paul Kossoff, Stan Webb, Pete Wingfield and Duster Bennett.

Blue Horizon
by: My GloriousHear it, hear it
A voice raised for Africa so fear it
Hear it, cause it's always gonna have a name
Music, it is music
You say nothing's gonna change the world you'll loose
He is music he's always got something to say
Fighters where are the fighters
The battle's on but who is there beside us
We need fighters lonely till the day they die
We are rebels, crusaders
We coexist and maybe talk about it later
But first and foremost there is love
We need love extenders
We need vision bearers
We need hope defenders
We need love we need love
And we need peace promoters
We need joy sustainers
We need heart repairers
Who will fight for love, for love
It's a kind of emergency to make something present
history
Not to be remembered for merely technology but making
and end to poverty
That's what the man said up on the stage after he
clapped his hands
Some of us didn't quite want that but some of us did
Some of us didn't understand that we've gotta change
We gotta change the unchangable
I never believed in not changing the world
I never believed you gotta do it on your own
Sometimes you gotta start it on your own
We need love extenders
We need vision bearers
We need hope defenders
We need love we need love
And we need peace promoters
We need joy sustainers
We need heart repairers
