It was really weird, but at the time there was a tendency to have a favourite label, which you did support to an almost fanatical degree.
I knew people who bought every 4AD release, and those who bought every Creation release, and could tell you the catalogue number of every release.
There was a real pressure when I started working in a record shop to have a favourite band (I've never had a favourite band, so mine became Black Flag - the first band I mentioned I liked), and a favourite record label (mine became SST because of the BF connection).
And the fact that there is a thread here about a record label suggests that my experience isn't dissimilar to other's.
