LONDON—Radar Records here has signed a licensing deal with U.S. label International Artists and plans a London launch to coincide with first releases through the pact.

The label, formed by Lelan Rogers, elder brother of chart artist Kenny Rogers, originated in Houston, Texas in 1966. Its first chart success was with 13th Floor Elevators' single "You're Gonna Miss Me." Subsequent albums from that group, and Red Crayola, Bubble Puppy and Lightnin' Hopkins are highly prized here.

Rogers visits London for the launch Friday and Saturday (13-14), and plans to re-activate the label in the U.S. with new product.
