Talk:Brunswick Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Genre

The infobox is for active record labels. There is no question that Brunswick has a long history with varied musical genres. But the current Brunswick Records is a soul music label. Is the infobox intended for the current incarnation of Brunswick or the entire history of the label? The catalogue of the current Brunswick is mainly soul music. The pre-Jackie Wilson material is not part of the current Brunswick and the old stuff is owned by Universal Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment.

Well, I think as the article needs to cover both historic and current Bruswick activities, I suppose the infobox should as well. Perhaps a double listing saying something like "Historic:Various Current:Soul" or something similar? -- Infrogmation 23:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British Brunswick

The UK arm of Brunswick Records should really have its own section. I believe US and UK Brunswick had much the same catalogue and artist roster from the 1920s through to the 1940s, but they were quite separate labels from the 1950s until the late 60s/early 70s.

During that latter era, broadly speaking, US Brunswick (and Coral) releases were on the Coral label in the UK, whereas US Decca stuff came out on UK Brunswick. That does make things a bit complicated when you consider the likes of Buddy Holly - the Buddy records released on Brunswick in the UK were not the ones that were issued on US Brunswick! 217.155.20.163 14:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

From an American perspective, the early records by "Buddy Holly" were on Decca at first, then Coral. The early records by "The Crickets" with Buddy Holly were on Brunswick. Decca decided to consolidate "Buddy Holly and the Crickets" to Coral. Steelbeard1 15:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
