A&M Records, Ltd. was established in 1969 to distribute releases from the American label A&M Records in the UK and also to sign and develop artists from Britain and Europe. Previous to this, selected A&M titles were licensed to UK labels on a per record basis.
In 1990, PolyGram purchased A&M Records. In 1999, Universal Music Group took control of PolyGram and placed A&M within the Interscope Music Division in the US.
In February 2007, Universal Music Group partnered with Octone Records to relaunch the A&M label, now headed by James Diener and called A&M/Octone Records with worldwide distribution handled by UMG.
NOTE: Please add all releases under the parent 'Brand' A&M Records unless the release is clearly branded with a logo denoting United Kingdom. DO NOT use copyright information to decide the label or brand.
