Record Store Day 2023

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.

A Flock Of Seagulls is a New Wave group that originated in Liverpool, UK. Formed by Mike Score and his brother Ali, the band was active from 1979 to 1985 before reuniting briefly in 2003 for a performance on the VH1 Series, Bands Reunited. They reformed again in September 2004 for a few live shows in the United States but disbanded soon after.

In 2018, the original lineup of A Flock Of Seagulls came together once more to collaborate with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra on an album titled Ascension. Continuing their musical journey, they reunited temporarily again in 2021 to record another album with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra called String Theory.

The band's members have evolved over time, with notable contributors including Paul Reynolds (guitar), Ali Score (drums), Frank Maudsley (bass), Chris Chryssaphis (keyboards), Gary Steadnin (guitar), Dean Pichette (bass), A.J. Mazzetti (drums), Ed Berner (guitar), Joe Rodriguez (guitar), Albert Cruz (drums), and Robbie 'Sinn' Hanson (bass).
