This week on Transmission, Jake Rudh is featuring music from a U.S. record label, Sire Records, that helped introduce many U.K. acts (like Erasure, pictured) to the States. And although that label is still around today, putting out new material, Jake will focus on Sire releases from the late ’70s through the ’80s — it is Transmission, after all!
