Warner Music's Global Catalog Division Re-Launches $tateside Records

It's Back!

$TATESIDE RECORDS will return this SUMMER when WARNER MUSIC's Global Catalog Division re-launches the historic label as a marketing imprint to focus on classic jazz, soul and R&B. 

The label's story began in 1962 when EMI formed $TATESIDE RECORDS to release licensed AMERICAN recordings to the U.K. and EUROPE to compete with DECCA LONDON's "American Recordings" and Pye's "Pye International" labels. It scored its first of many hits in 1962 with "Palisades Park" by FREDDY CANNON. 

$tateside would grow to become one of the most widely collected U.K. record labels in the 1960's thanks to the music it released, especially early MOTOWN singles. This helped develop a strong fanbase in EUROPE as $TATESIDE released classics by MARVIN GAYE, THE MIRACLES and THE SUPREMES, who hit #1 with "Baby Love" in 1964 and many now highly collectible Northern Soul classics.
