HDM Records

HDM was a record label based in Hollywood, California, founded and owned by Hadley Murrell, whose initials it bore. It was in operation from 1977 to at least 1985, and concentrated on soul/disco music. HDM was distributed first by Amherst and then by TK Productions. Murrell had been a deejay and producer in the Phoenix area from 1964-1972, and was a veteran producer. Singer/songwriter Eddie Horan was his right-hand man, doing much of the songwriting for the artists on the label making some recordings himself. Horan had been a recording artist on the Money and MGM labels in the 1960s, being produced some of that time by Murrell.
