Posh Boy Records

Posh Boy Records

Posh Boy Records was a Hollywood, California based record label owned by Robbie Fields, a sometime high school substitute teacher who took an interest in the emerging punk rock scene in Orange County, California during the early 1980s. Its releases enjoyed substantial airplay on Rodney Bingenheimer's show on KROQ, and some of them, notably the Robbie Fields produced version of "Amoeba" by The Adolesecents and the synth rock classic "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls" performed by Sparks offshoot Gleaming Spires and produced by Stephen Hague, made it into regular programming on the station. Among many bands whose first recordings were issued by the label was Social Distortion. The label continued releasing records into the 21st century, the last known release being a 7" release by yet another Orange County, California group The Willowz. Its most successful release is commonly agreed to be Agent Orange's debut "Living In Darkness", containing the extreme sports anthem "Bloodstains", a song covered by many alternative groups, the most notable being The Offspring for the "Ready To Rumble" film soundtrack.
