AWARDS TO THE WISE A convoy of artists and managers travelled to East End London’s Troxy last week for - you guessed it - the Artist and Managers Awards 2012. There was great support from the wider music industry who came to see Plan B claim Artist of the Year, while his manager, UROK’s Sam Eldridge, scooped Manager of the Year. The pair are pictured (left) with Sam’s father and industry favourite Roy Eldridge. Meanwhile, Owain Davies (middle) took home the gong for Breakthrough Manager while long-time Kylie manager Terry Blamey – pictured below left with MMF chief executive Jon Webster– was given the Peter Grant Award. Below, Deftones celebrate with Zane Lowe after rhe Radio 1 DJ was crowned Industry Champion.

FABLED LABELS


REPUBLIC RECORDS Founded 1995


Key artists Prince, 3 Doors Down, Jack Johnson (below)


Republic Records, which originally went by the name of Cheese Factory Records, was founded by Avery Lipman and his brother Monte in 1995 as a sub-label of MCA’s Geffen Records. The first record they put out was the Bloodhound Gang’s Dingleberry Haze EP. The band’s debut LP, Use Your Fingers, soon followed. In 2000, the Lipman brothers accepted


an offer from Universal and became one of several labels that comprised Universal Motown Republic Group. With Republic now a fully-owned subsidiary under the major, Monte Lipman was named president and Avery Lipman the COO. During their tenure, the Lipmans worked with acts including Nelly, Lil’


Wayne and Elton John, and on co-ventures with Cash Money Records, Master P’s No Limit Records, and Sean “Puffy” Combs (Bad Boy Records). In the summer of 2011, Universal Motown


Records shut down and Universal Republic Records became a standalone label. Earlier this year, Universal Republic Records reverted back to the Republic Records name.


Did you know? Republic Records distributed Amy Winehouse’s Grammy award-winning album Back to Black in the US in 2006.
