Roadshow

Roadshow

Profile:
Founded by Fred Frank and Sid Maurer in October 1972.

Distribution changed several times:
- 1972-1973 ; Stereo Dimension Records
- 1974-1975 : Scepter Records, Inc.
- 1976-1978 : United Artists Music And Records Group, Inc.
- 1978-1979 : RCA Records

The post-1976 releases of the company's longest-serving stars B.T. Express (who signed directly with Columbia in 1976 instead of moving with the label to United Artists) only had its print logo on the Columbia label. It was during the Columbia period that Roadshow created the Coast To Coast (2) imprint, whose only significant release was by British disco diva Kelly Marie.

The label's stars included funk/disco band B.T. Express, R&B singing group Enchantment, Witch Queen (assembled and co-produced by Gino Soccio) and gospel music legend Shirley Caesar.

The label exists today as Roadshow Entertainment Group, leasing out its recordings for others to release.
