Commercial History
Distribution was via label deals with Parlophone Records, for acts such as K-Klass and Bassheads, and RCA Records for everybody else. It was acquired by BMG in 1993 and its operations reduced in 1998, with M People gaining their own M People Records label for the release of their Fresco album. Sony then acquired BMG in 2001, leading to the closure of both Deconstruction and Concrete.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or history:
“The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.”
—Dorothy Nevill (1826–1913)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
