Nervous Records
17 releases
New York City-based label founded in 1991 by [a=Mike Weiss] and his father [a=Sam Weiss (2)].
Mike had revived his father's [l=Sam Records] label in 1989 before he took [a=Frankie Crocker]'s advice to start a label in his own identity.
The name came from WBLS radio DJ [a=Chuck Chillout] who nicknamed Mike 'Captain Nervous' due to his hyperactive, wiry energy while promoting hip hop records.
The famous logo was created by EMI/Chrysalis art director [a=Marc Cozza] who had designed a few covers for Sam Records.
The updated logo, unveiled in 2004, with the figure set against a brick wall, included graffiti writing by [a=Blake Lethem].
