history
The label was founded in 1957 by Doug Dobell, who also ran the then famous London Dobell's Jazz Record Shop at 77 Charing Cross. The name of the label goes back to this, in which the street number of the shop - 77 Charing Cross, London - was used.
The label ceased operations in the late 1970s, followed by the closure of the record store in 1992.
