RECORDS
Independent label: Bearsville was owned by Albert Grossman, and was operative in the USA from 1970 to 1983. Todd Rundgren was the label's main producer and its best-known artist; he never enjoyed the same success in Britain that he did in the States, but he gave Bearsville a hit here in 1973 with 'I Saw The Light'. The company had to wait until 1979 for its next chart success, which came in the shape of Randy Vanwarmer's, 'Just When I Needed You Most' (WIP-6516). One minor point of interest: Bearsville issued the first records by Sparks, who went on to enjoy worldwide success with other companies. For most of the decade the label was part of the WEA group, singles being listed in their own K-15500 series. Where WEA went, Bearsville went: distribution was initially by Pye, as the Pye-style promo demonstrates; CBS took over in late 1972 or early 1973, at which point promos took on the usual CBS-family-promo appearance. The white-labelled Sparks single is an oddity: standard brown-labelled ones exist, but there's nothing on the white label to suggest a promo. Mid 1979 saw Bearsville linking up with Island Records; from that point its singles shared Island's WIP-6000 catalogue numbering. The WEA discography below have Some gaps, and are due to the numbers being used for overseas releases. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
