MGM Records
MGM Records was a music label owned by the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Film Studios.
The label was founded in 1946 to be able to directly market the soundtracks of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film production . Pop music was later released on the label and until the early 1950s it was one of the big, so-called major labels . In Germany, MGM recordings were licensed by Deutsche Grammophon and sold as Polydor's sister label under the MGM label from 1959 . There were also German productions, especially with Connie Francis . In the 1960s, the sub-label Cub Records was founded for the British market and in 1961 Verve Records was bought by Norman Granz . In 1972 MGM Records was sold to PolyGram and dissolved in 1975.
In 1928, however, there had already been a company called Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Records . Its music recordings were not sold to the public, however, they came from MGM films and were played in the foyers of the cinemas.
