A bit of a mystery. Black Rose has the look of a typical DIY label. It appears to have issued just the one EP, containing four tracks by the band which gave the label its name. The tracks concerned were 'Let's See You Do It', 'Let's Talk It Over', 'Sue', and 'I Don't Mind'. There's no date on the EP's labels, as can be seen on the picture which Nicholas Hough has kindly provided, but the few references to the record on the net give 1978 as thy year in which it came out; the 'rateyourmusic' site, which agrees with that dating, has the record listed under DIY / DIY Punk'. The catalogue number was BR-1, and the roughness of the inner part of the label suggests an Orlake pressing. A NWOBHM band called Black Rose made some records in the '80s, but that seems to have been a different outfit - a comprehensive online discography of that band didn't include this EP, and the personnel didn't include the composer of these tracks.
