Independent label: Mushroom was a Label formed by Michael
Gudinski and Ray Evans in Melbourne, Australia in 1972.Its earliest signings
included Skyhooks and Split Enz and by the mid Seventies it was Australia's
leading independent label, in partnership with Festival Records Pty. Ltd. The

Mushroom went from strength to strength in the 1980s as Split Enz had
substantial international success and they signed Kylie Minogue. Subsidiary

Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp and the remainder in 1998. Murdoch merged it with his
Festival Records Pty. Ltd. and Mushroom Distribution Services (MDS) to form the
company Festival Mushroom Records Pty. Ltd. in 1999. Mushroom Records managed
two singles. It issued singles in MRI-00 numerical series. Distributed By BMG
