Blue Thumb Records
| Описание: | Label Code: LC 01228 Founded in 1968 and initially distributed by [l13531], the licensing & distribution moved in 1971 to [l266222], a subsidiary of [b]Gulf & Western Company[/b] who purchased the label in 1972 as [l142518] In 1974, Gulf+Western sold its entire record operation, which included [l36601] and [l38652], to [l12220]. (A label history [url=http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?label=Blue+Thumb+Records]is in images[/url]) Blue Thumb Records was founded in mid-1968 by [l12217] producer [a=Bob Krasnow] on the strength of a recording deal he struck with [a=Don Van Vliet] during recording sessions for the second album by [a=Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band]. The album had begun life as [i]It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper[/i], a conceptual double album for release on [l=Buddah]. However, Krasnow's idea of an independent label effected new directions. Vliet had considered re-naming his band "Blue Thumb", but this became the name for the new label. The resultant recording [i]Strictly Personal[/i], produced and engineered by Krasnow, became the first release on Blue Thumb as BTS 1. Krasnow, who begun his career at [l47558], had previously effected a similar move with Vliet when he brought The Magic Band over from A&M Records [along with executives [a=Tommy LiPuma] & Don Graham] to the newly-formed Buddah label, created to gain distribution independence away from MGM for [l=Kama Sutra]. This had resulted in Krasnow co-producing the [i]Safe As Milk[/i] album and striking a working relationship with the band. [i]Strictly Personal[/i] on Blue Thumb was distributed by [l13531]. The label's distribution, from BTS 20 through BTS 28, was by [l=Capitol] Records and starting with BTS 29 by ABC. The label of [l142518] was quite innovative, with a roster of artists rather 'left-field' or blues oriented, echoing the similar style of [a=Frank Zappa]'s [l=Straight] and [l=Bizarre Records] labels. Krasnow also created the sub-label [l=Banana Records (4)] for [a=National Lampoon] recordings, using the Blue Thumb "BTS" numbering system. By 1974 the label was being distributed by [l=ABC Records], who bought Krasnow out that year. Blue Thumb continued to be used as an imprint on some ABC releases (mainly for albums by The [a=Crusaders] and the [a=Pointer Sisters]) until late 1978 when [l=MCA Records] bought ABC Records and folded it and all of its affiliated labels a year later. MCA revived Blue Thumb in 1995 as an imprint of [l=GRP]. Following a series of label mergers and buyouts that eventually created the multi-national [l=Universal Music Group], Blue Thumb and GRP became subsidiaries of the [l=The Verve Music Group]. Blue Thumb was deactivated in 2005 and replaced with a relaunched [l30679]. |
