JOHNNY WINTER on LONDON RECORDS

British-owned multinational label, the London Records imprint was initially crafted by The Decca Record Company Limited to handle Decca’s catalog distribution across North America and bring its North American offerings to markets beyond. Over time, London Records evolved from this straightforward mission to one of the world’s premier vehicles for licensed music distribution, making iconic tracks accessible globally. In the UK, the label distributed directly, while internationally it operated through a network of licensees, establishing a powerhouse presence. With Decca’s acquisition by PolyGram in the 1980s, London Records found renewed life, becoming a global brand synonymous with boundary-crossing musical reach and genre-spanning catalog.
