Star Song Communications was a record label that was started in 1976 by Darrell Harris. It gained notoriety when it issued Resurrection Band's ground-breaking debut album, Awaiting Your Reply in 1978. Originally a distribution deal was made with Benson Records. From 1983 until 1986 distribution was done by Word Records. After that, a deal was made with Sparrow Records until the launch of Chordant Distribution in 1993. The following year EMI acquired the label.[1]
Pure Metal Records was acquired from Refuge Records in 1990.[2]
In 1998 it was announced that Star Song would only be used to issue reprints and their artists would be transferred to Sparrow.[1]
