MAM Records
MAM Records was a British record label launched in 1970 by the management company Management Agency & Music Ltd. (MAM). It was founded by Gordon Mills and Tom Jones and distributed by Decca Records. Artists on the label included Gilbert O'Sullivan, Lynsey de Paul, and Dave Edmunds. Engelbert Humperdinck was a major recording artist with MAM. Gordon Mills was Engelbert Humperdinck's manager. Distribution switched to EMI in the mid 1970s.[1]
The company was one of the most successful record companies in the United Kingdom throughout the early 1970s. It diversified into slot machines and airlines but by the end of the 1970s it was losing ground to American companies like RCA Victor.
The company was sold in the 1980s to Chrysalis Records. Following the sale of Chrysalis to EMI in 1991 many recordings previously owned by MAM have most recently been reissued by EMI.
