FM/REVOLVER
RECORDS
Independent label: FM is a division
FM-Revolver Records Ltd. 152 Goldthorn Hill Penn Wolverhampton WV2 3JA. The
label used the same cat number as the Sublabels of Black, FM, FM Dance, and
Revolver Records. Revolver Music, or Revolver Records, was created
by Paul Birch in 1979 as a guitar music label. Its sister labels are FM Records
and Heavy Metal Records. Revolver is best known for signing the Manchester band,
The Stone Roses, who released the "Sally Cinnamon" EP with Revolver under the
"Black Records" imprint prior to reneging on their contract and moving to
Silvertone (part of the Zomba Group). The Black Records label was a division of
FM-Revolver that was initially created as an indie imprint to promote The Stone
Roses, and later used for releases by Crazyhead, The Pleasureheads and The Wild
Flowers amongst others. Revolver also signed artists such as UK Subs and The
Vibrators, also releasing the first eponymous album by Jane's Addiction in the
UK. FM Records and Revolver Records were two labels in common ownership that
came together to form FM Revolver in the 1980s. The FM label presented itself as
FM Records, FM Coast to Coast, FM Dance and FM Revolver. The label was
distributed by BMG Ariola Munich and in the UK by BMG until 1991, from 1991 to
2000 by Sony Music Entertainment, from 2000 to 2009 by Universal Music Group and
2009 onwards by Plastic Head. The FM Label is best known for signing rock acts
like Magnum which it established with the 1985 release "On a Storyteller's
Night". It released several back catalogue albums belonging to the Jet Records
label under license, the compilation album "Mirador" and box set "Foundation".
Other FM artists included Adam Bomb, Asia, Atom Seed, Babe Ruth, Cloven Hoof,
Dark Star, Jack Green, James Young, King Kobra, Lisa Dominique, The Macc Lads,
Marino, Multi-story, Pet Hate, Rough Trade, Sofia Rotaru, Steve Gaines, Tobruk,
Torino, Tradia, UFO, White Sister and Wrathchild. Its Jazz releases notably
include Alvin Davis; other signings include Sister Sledge, Cecilia Ray and Val
Grant to its FM Dance imprint. FM Records today continues under the Revolver
label. Distributed By BMG Records.
