Label GB

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.

Gary Moore was an Irish blues and rock guitarist, born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on April 4, 1952. He moved to Dublin at the age of 16 and later became a renowned musician. With his exceptional guitar skills and soulful playing style, Moore left a lasting impact on the music industry.
Throughout his career, Gary Moore showcased his versatility by experimenting with various genres such as blues, rock, and even heavy metal. His powerful performances captivated audiences worldwide. Sadly, he passed away on February 6, 2011 in Estepona, Malaga Province, Spain.
In addition to his solo work, Gary Moore was also a member of several notable bands during his career. Notably, he joined *Thin Lizzy* in both 1981 and 1983.

Gary Moore’s Blues and Beyond is a remarkable collection of his powerful and emotive blues studio recordings

Best known for his evocative solo hits, Parisienne Walkways and Still Got the Blues (live versions feature in this set), and his on/off membership of Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore’s solo career comprises over twenty albums. Throughout the 1980s, Gary moved up the rock hierarchy, but turned his back on what he regarded as the empty flash of metal and reverted to his heart music – the blues – where ironically he scored his biggest commercial success through his 1990s and 2000s blues albums.

As well as running his own bands, during a successful solo career, Gary mixed with the best that rock and blues could offer, playing live and on record with George Harrison, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Greg Lake, BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins and many others. Gary was also the guitarist many looked up to, not just for the terrifying speed of his fretwork, but for the passion, fire and honesty in his playing.
