Imago Records

Imago Records (The Imago Recording Company) was an American independent record label, which was active during the early 1990s.

In 1990 Ann Munday was hired as Vice President and General Manager in their New York office.[1]

Several influential artists released albums through Imago, including Rollins Band, Aimee Mann, Paula Cole and Love Spit Love.[2] Despite building a slate of up and coming alternative rock artists, the company ran into serious financial difficulties when, in December 1994, the company's former financial backer Bertelsmann Music Group pulled funding.[3] This left many of their artists scrambling to find new labels.[4]

In 1996, Henry Rollins and his new label DreamWorks SKG sued Imago, alleging "fraud, deceit, undue influence and economic coercion" on the labels' part.[5]

Artists

All of the following artists released albums on the Imago label:[2]

gollark: Although I guess mine could and probably did as I never revealed what the obfuscated code did.
gollark: Hmm. I really wonder *what* palaiologos's code does. It could probably have uploaded secret bee neuron data to palaiologos' server and nobody would know.
gollark: Maybe someone should make a PR with hyperfast ultrayes.
gollark: See, this is bad because it presumably runs below 3GB/s.
gollark: Maybe it would be easier to just run it a lot, and calculate the time complexity.
