Background

The label was headquartered in Beverley Hills. The label along with Daywin Music and Artist Music were a division of Arwin Productions, owned by Doris Day and Marty Melcher.[1] In October 1959, it was reported by The Billboard that the head of the label, Marty Melcher was getting ready to expand the label into a full line. That included the regular releases of record singles and a packaged goods line.[2] Bob Chrystal formerly of Korwin Music joined Melcher's music operation in 1960 to be in charge of Eastern operations for the label as well as other divisions under the Melcher umbrella.[3]

gollark: The reactor is kind of cool but also does the DE thing of "haha big number good".
gollark: Particularly the whole "chaos guardian" thing, which is just ridiculous - it's a boss with an attack which *instantly kills you*, except DE armour can magically save you from death for a lot of power, so you're forced to use that.
gollark: It's just "what if we take things, and make them have bigger numbers?!??!!¡ ̇¡ ̇¡ ̇⅛ ̇" ̇!¡ ̇¡ ̇?!!".
gollark: I actually dislike Draconic Evolution. It's where the "it's balanced because it takes effort" thing comes from.
gollark: It's balanced because it doesn't take effort.
