PLANET
RECORDS
Independent label: Label created by producer
Richard Perry in 1978 as a side vehicle for showcasing new
talent he was nurturing while he was still producing existing artists for other
labels. By far, Planet Records' biggest selling act was the Pointer Sisters,
whom Perry lured away from Blue Thumb/ABC Records. Their releases kept the label
alive - the sales of 1983's "Break Out" topped five million and 1985's "Contact"
topped two million, and the two made more money for Perry than all the other
Planet releases combined. Other acts included Bill Medley, Greg Phillinganes,
the Plimsouls and American Noise. Perry sold the label to RCA in 1982, which
kept the label alive as a subdivision through late 1985, after which the Pointer
Sisters, Phillinganes and Medley were signed to RCA proper. The remaining
artists on Planet's roster did not have their contracts renewed and the label
was ultimately liquidated by the end of the 80's. Distributed By RCA
Records.
