MGM
Records was started by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio in late
1946, for the purpose of releasing soundtrack albums of their musical films.
In the early 1950s, MGM Records was considered one of the major record
companies (besides Columbia, RCA, Decca, Capitol, Mercury and Coral) and
had its own manufacturing facilities in the US. Manufacture and distribution
in the UK the 1950s and 1960s were by EMI.
In
1972, the label was sold to the newly-founded Dutch-German PolyGram, which
tried to get a share of the American market by buying US record companies.
PolyGram tried to re-establish MGM as a mainstream rock label, but failed. |
