MGM Records was a Record Label started by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Movie studio in 1946 . In the early 1950s , MGM Records was considered as one of the "major" record companies (besides Columbia , RCA , Decca , Capitol and Mercury ). Subsidiary Cub Records was launched in the early sixties and Verve Records was acquired from Norman Granz in 1961 . Artists who had success on the label included Eric Burdon And The Animals , Sam The Sham , Tony Blackburn , and The Osmonds . MGM Records was sold to PolyGram in 1972 and discontinued in 1975 . Mention should be made of a short lived Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Records of 1928 ; it produced recordings of music featured in MGM movies, not sold to the general public but made to be played in movie theater lobbies. These Metro-Goldwyn Mayer records were manufactured under contract with the studio by Columbia Records . SEE ALSO |
