FABLED LABELS


RCA VICTOR Key Artists: Elvis Presley, Eurythmics, David Bowie


RCA Victor was formed when the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) purchased gramophone manufacturer, the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1929. The label became the home for blues, jazz, country, R&B and other musical genres that didn't fit into pop. In 1955, RCA purchased the recording contract of Elvis Presley from Sun


Records for a rumoured $35,000. Elvis become RCA’s biggest selling recording artist. His first gold record was Heartbreak Hotel, recorded in January 1956. In 1957, RCA ended its 55-year association with EMI and signed a distribution deal with Decca Records, which lead EMI to purchase Capitol Records. In 1983, Arista Records owner Bertelsmann sold 50% of Arista to RCA. In


1985, Bertelsmann and RCA formed RCA/Ariola International. When General Electric acquired RCA in 1986, the company sold its 50%


interest in RCA/Ariola International to its partner Bertelsmann and the company was renamed BMG Music. BMG also revived the RCA Victor label. In 2004, BMG and Sony merged their music holdings into a joint venture called Sony BMG. Four years later, Sony acquired Bertelsmann’s interest in the record company which was officially renamed Sony Music Entertainment. RCA became part of the newly formed RCA/Jive Label Group (also known as RCA Records Group) as a result. RCA Records was restructured in 2011 and the RCA Music Group was separated from the Jive Label Group.


Current acts include David Bowie, Imogen Heap and Laura Mvula. Elvis Presley catalogue releases


are now being issued through RCA Victor and Legacy Recordings.


Did You Know? RCA Victor demolished its Camden warehouse in the early 1960s. The remnants were bulldozed into the Delaware River and a pier was built on top of them.
