Kenny Denton. Onest Records. The Record Label That Had to Fail Or It Would Go Bankrupt. From "There Ain’t No Rules In Rock n Roll ."

This Deep Dive Review provides a biographical sketch of Buck Holder, a deceitful and manipulative figure who operated Onest Records in the early 1970s. The narrative details how Holder deliberately structured his business to avoid commercial hits, allowing him to embezzle funds through complex international licensing schemes and falsified manufacturing invoices. Beyond his financial crimes, the memoir describes Holder as a narcissistic fantasist who exploited artists and employees alike while boasting of fabricated professional achievements. His career is characterised by a series of elaborate scams, ranging from money laundering with overseas royalties to the eventual collapse of a multi-million-pound deal with a German label. Ultimately, the source portrays a man whose only genuine talent was an unwavering expertise in embezzlement and self-enrichment at the expense of the music industry. Underneath his authoritative persona lay a profound lack of musical understanding, resulting in a legacy defined by fraud rather than artistic merit.
