Stiff Records, the independent British record label, was the first to sign Kirsty MacColl. Founded in 1976 by Jake Riviera and Dave Robinson, Stiff Records gained recognition for its eclectic roster of artists and innovative marketing strategies. MacColl joined the label in 1979 and released her debut album, "Desperate Character," the following year, establishing her unique blend of pop, rock, and folk music.
