Blue Heart was just one of the numerous custom labels promoted and distributed by Brite Star, a promotion music company who put regular ads in music trade magazine such as Billboard Magazine (see below). The Pick Hits records list the records that they want to promote but also, cleverly enough, a few real hits or potential hits.
