| A&M
Records was formed in 1962 by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. Their first choice
for a name was “Carnival Records,” under which they released two singles
before discovering another label had taken the Carnival name first. The
company was subsequently renamed A&M, after Alpert's and Moss's initials.
Within a decade of its inception, A&M became the world's largest independent record company. In the UK, A&M came on the scene in 1967. |
