Label GB

The CBS label, established in 1928, was initially created to distribute and market releases on the CBS label overseas. It later became known as CBS Records and played a significant role in promoting *Columbia* releases outside of the US. Due to trademark copyrights, the CBS brand couldn't be used internationally for *Columbia* releases. To market their records globally, CBS set up various companies such as *CBS Disques* in France, *CBS Grammofoonplaten B.V.* in the Netherlands, and *CBS Schallplatten GmbH* in Germany.

In the UK, distribution of the CBS label was initially handled by *Philips Records*, but after acquiring *Oriole Records*, it was renamed to *CBS Coronet*. In Australia and New Zealand, the CBS label replaced the existing *Coronet* label in 1963. These companies also released records by local artists under the CBS label.

In 1988, CBS Records and its sublabels were sold to Japanese company Sony Music Entertainment (formerly known as Sony Corporation). However, Sony only had temporary rights to use the CBS brand for three years until they acquired international rights for Columbia from EMI. On January 1st, 1991, Sony began using Columbia as a worldwide label instead of CBS except in Spain and Japan where other entities held rights to those names respectively. The holding company was renamed Sony Music Entertainment on that same date.

Trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and one of the most important figures in jazz music history. Miles Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in his five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. Born on May 26, 1926 in Alton, Illinois, USA and passed away on September 28, 1991 in Santa Monica, California at the age of 65. He is best known for his seminal modern jazz album "Kind of Blue" (1959), which remains the highest selling jazz album of all time with six million copies sold.Miles Davis studied at an academic school for musicians in NYC where he met Charlie Parker and they started playing together from 1945. In 1948, Miles Davis formed his own ensembles and collaborated with Gil Evans to create The Miles Davis Nonet. Their recordings from 1949 to 1950 resulted in the album "Birth of the Cool" (1957) and laid the foundation for their future collaborations.A pioneer of 'Hard Bop' in the mid-1950s, Miles Davis constantly pushed boundaries throughout his career. In the late 1960s, he ventured into experimenting with electronic instruments and incorporating rock and funk rhythms into his music. Despite health problems leading to a hiatus from playing in the mid-1970s, he made a comeback with an 'electronical' sound in 1980.

180 gram vinyl. Great to have a vinyl reissue of one of Miles best. Scorned by critics at the time of its release, Miles Davis' 1972 album On the Corner is now seen as a forerunner of post punk, hip hop, drum and bass and electronic music, thanks to its revolutionary recording techniques. Miles wanted to reconnect with a younger audience, who had forsaken him for rock and funk, and the experimental On the Corner was his answer. leaning more heavily on a drum and bass groundwork, the overdubs consisted of free improvisations held in the studio. On the Corner isn't one of Miles easiest records to listen to, but it can yield the most fruits. now released with completely remastered audio.
