LINN
RECORDS

 Independent label: Linn Records is a Glasgow-based record label which specialises in classical, jazz and Scottish music. It is part of Linn Products. Linn Records was Distributed by Virgin in the UK and Europe. A division of Linn Products, makers of audiophile standard Hi-Fi components, the premise being to create a label to rival the highest standards of music recording and production. The first two 'Blue Nile' albums were released on this label. The Blue Nile are an adult alternative/pop band from Glasgow. The music of The Blue Nile is built heavily on synthesizers and electronic instrumentation and percussion, although later works featured acoustic guitar more prominently. The band was formed in 1981 when Paul Buchanan and his friends Robert Bell, Paul Joseph, "PJ" Moore after graduating from the University of Glasgow in the late 1970s. When local hi-fi manufacturer Linn Electronics heard their music, through friend and recording engineer Calum Malcolm, the company offered the band money to record a track that would showcase the sonic range of the company's high-end audio equipment. Linn was so pleased with the result, they formed their own record label in order to release The Blue Nile's debut, A Walk Across the Rooftops, in 1983. Distributed By Virgin Records.
