Artist History L7 Records was founded in 1978 for the purpose of recording a few unique musicians. The several albums that were released around that time are currently out of print. Interest in these artists was renewed when we found that these original L7 releases had seemed to influence some current musical trends. We decided to test and see if the market can now handle these artists by releasing a compliation album available in vinyl only.

Group Members Artists associated with L7 label include: N.S. Rockwell, Rev. Blackstone and Rev. Crucifix, Egg Mariner, P.Nym, R.R. Demmler & Mr. Fluffy.
