British record label From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Come Organisation was a record label started by William Bennett in 1979 as a way to release albums by his own band, Come, when he was unable to find a label willing to release them. It released the work of Bennett's subsequent band, Whitehouse.[1]

The label's first release was the Come single "Come Sunday/Shaved Slits" in 1979.[2] When Bennett dissolved Come in 1980 to form Whitehouse, Come Organisation continued to release his work, serving as the label for all of Whitehouse's albums from its inception through 1985's Great White Death. In addition, Bennett began to release albums by other controversial or extreme groups, including Sutcliffe Jugend, Maurizio Bianchi, Nurse With Wound and even Charles Manson.[citation needed]
When Whitehouse went on hiatus at the end of 1985, Come Organisation was dissolved.[citation needed] Bennett again created a label for his releases in 1988, but called it Susan Lawly rather than reviving Come Organisation.[3]
