DARK HORSE
RECORDS
Independent label: Dark Horse Records was George Harrison's record company. Dark Horse was founded in 1974, George Harrison himself he was under contract elsewhere at the time of launch, and was unable to issue his own recordings on Dark Horse until 1976. The label was handled by A & M in Britain until a falling-out and a lawsuit prompted a move to WEA. Initially A & M-era singles shared an AMS-7000 numerical series with those of the parent company. In early 1975 they were given an AMS-5500 series of their own. Singles from the WEA years shared a K-17000 series with those of Warner Brothers. Such Chart success as Dark Horse enjoyed was mainly down to records by George Harrison, though Splinter were the first artists to get the label into the Singles Chart, with 'Costafine Town' (AMS-7135; 1974).  From 1979 the label seems to have become merely a vehicle for Harrison's own records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
