ISLAND
RECORDS
Independent label: Island Records was founded in
Jamaica in 1959 by Chris Blackwell and Graeme Goodall. Until Blackwell sold the
label to PolyGram in 1989, Island was the largest indie record label in history.
In May 1962, Blackwell relocated the label to the UK in order to market music by
Jamaican artists to immigrant communities in London and Birmingham. In 1967,
however, Island shifted its focus to relatively edgy rock music, and most of its
Jamaican acts were moved to the spinoff label Trojan Records. Island resumed its
support of reggae artists with the signing of The Wailers in 1972. Blackwell
sold Island to PolyGram in 1989, but remained chairman of Island Entertainment
Group until 1997. Since 1999, the Island label has been under the control of the
Island Def Jam Music Group in the US and Universal Island Records in the
UK.
