BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Au Pairs were a British post punk band formed in Birmingham in 1978. The original members included Lesley Woods on guitar and vocals, Paul Foad on guitar and vocals, Jane Munro on bass, and Pete Hammond on drums.

During their active years from 1978 to 1983, Au Pairs gained recognition for their unique sound that blended elements of punk rock with feminist politics. Their music was characterized by sharp lyrics and powerful guitar-driven melodies.

Influenced by bands like Delta 5, Essential Logic, and The Raincoats, Au Pairs carved out their own distinct place in the post punk scene. They were known for their energetic live performances and thought-provoking songs that tackled social issues such as gender inequality and political unrest.

After the success of&nbsp;Death Walks Behind You, an appearance on Top of the Pops, and a successful tour, it was time for emerging stars Atomic Rooster to record their third studio album,&nbsp;In Hearing Of. The album is a perfect example of a band evolving and in constant transition, such as they show with this little-known gem of the '70s British rock.Much less bombastic than the band's earlier releases,&nbsp;In Hearing Of&nbsp;is almost funky at times. The lyrics are doom-laden in the spirit of much of this genre of British hard rock at the time, and pseudo-classical references crop up from time to time, but Vincent Crane's keyboards are generally tasty, and the melodies are often downright memorable.
