Joe´s Music Rack EPIC RECORD |
THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY!
Epic was started in 1953 as a jazz and classical music label by CBS. Its bright-yellow, black and blue logo became a very familiar trademark for many jazz and classical releases.
By 1960, its musical base had expanded to include all types of music and became an means for Columbia´s Artiste and Repertoire (A&R) department to sign newer artists and avoid adding more artists on its larger Columbia label, which at the time was only signing better known or already established artists. Many of new signers were pop, Rock & Roll, and R&B artists in nature, where as Columbia had the better known popular artists.
Also in the 1960s, Epic oversaw the subsidiary of CBS labels including Okeh Records,
Date Records and distributed
Ode Records.
In 1970, Epic earned its first gold record and developed into an award winning force in rock and roll, R&,B and
country music. With the likes of The Dave Clark Five, Donovan, The Hollies, Tammy Wynette, Roy Hamilton, Bobby Vinton,
The Yardbirds, and others. Several of the British artists on their roster in the 1960s was the result of
Epic´s distribution deal with EMI.
Epic recordings were issued by EMI on the Columbia label before the contract with EMI expired at which point CBS Records formed a British Epic Records branch to market Epic label material.
Epic has a long history of many successful acts. Just check out the Artists on Epic below.
Sony Corporation bought all of CBS´s labels in 1988. A joint venture between its music division and BMG happened in 2004, and Sony purchased BMG´s stake to take hold of the whole company in 2008.
Legacy Recordings continues to reissue the label´s classic and historical albums.
In March 2007, Epic, along with Columbia Records, signed an agreement with Sony Music Entertainment Japan to handle that company
