Capricorn Records
Capricorn Records was launched by Phil Walden in 1969 in Macon, Georgia (with offices in Atlanta). At first the records were distributed by Atlantic Records, later changing to Warner Bros.. Capricorn went out of business in 1982.
The label was later relaunched out of Nashville, Tennessee as a joint-venture with Warner Bros. in the early 1990's. Distribution later jumped to Sony Music's independent RED Distribution network, then Mercury Records. 311 and Cake were the most popular artists to come out of Capricorn during this period. Zomba Records subsidiary Volcano Entertainment purchased the second incarnation of Capricorn (which by then, was headquartered once again in Atlanta) in 2001.
