Obscure Records is a U.K. record label which existed from 1975 to 1978. It was created and run by Brian Eno who also produced the albums (credited as executive producer in one instance). Ten albums were issued in the series. The label provided a venue for experimental music, and its association with Eno gave increased public exposure to its composers and musicians.
