Posh Boy Records

Posh Boy Records was a Hollywood, California-based record label owned by the American-born Englishman, Robbie "Posh Boy" Fields, a high school substitute teacher and former copy boy at the Los Angeles Times who took an interest in the emerging punk rock scene in Orange County, California during the late 1970s.

The label's releases enjoyed substantial airplay on Rodney Bingenheimer's show on KROQ-FM, and some of them, notably the Fields-produced version of "Amoeba" by The Adolescents and the Stephen Hague-produced electronic rock track "Are You Ready for the Sex Girls" by Sparks offshoot Gleaming Spires, made it into regular programming on the station.

Social Distortion was one of many bands whose first recordings were issued by Posh Boy. One of the label's most successful releases was Agent Orange's debut, Living in Darkness, containing "Bloodstains", an extreme sports anthem covered by many alternative rock groups (the most notable being The Offspring in 2000 on the Ready to Rumble film soundtrack).
