United Artists ....
Some time ago I agreed with a fellow vinyl fan & email acquaintance of mine that UA was but only a very minor player in the record business. Then we started to list all of the great albums and artists that they handled and our minds were changed.
Holy crap! Just look at this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Artists_Records#RosterI have to agree that UA never seemed interested in promoting anybody. Considering who they had under their wing, with genres all over the map, they should have been a label with a lot more clout and an even greater legacy.
And for the trivia minded, UA was the child of silent film greats D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, with the studio born in 1919 to allow for actors to control their own interests.
Strange how history evolves.
