Gold Castle Records was a record label. It was co-owned by music industry veteran Danny Goldberg and Julian Schlossberg (co-producer / co-director of the live music film No Nukes). The General Manager of Gold Castle was Paula Jeffries, a former executive at Windham Hill.
Its records were first distributed by Polygram, and then by CEMA, the EMI distribution arm at the time.
During the mid- to late-1980s, the label became home to such Baby Boomer icons as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Peter, Paul and Mary and Eric Andersen, most of whom had previously been without record deals during the years prior.
Although most of the artists who recorded for this company were already established artists, one unknown act released a record- the folk group The Washington Squares.
Famous quotes containing the words gold, castle and/or records:
“England and France, Spain and Portugal, Gold Coast and Slave Coast, all front on this private sea; but no bark from them has ventured out of sight of land, though it is without doubt the direct way to India.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
