Prelude Records was a New York–based independent record label that was active from 1977 to 1986. At one time, François Kevorkian held an A&R position at Prelude.[1] The label's owner was Marvin Schlachter,[2] and his business partner was Stan Hoffman, who had worked with him at Janus Records, and later Pye/ATV. Hoffman eventually became a noted boxing promotor.[3][4][5]
