BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

The Beat represent one of the foremost bands of the 80s, mixing ska instrumentation, pop sensibility, soul, reggae and punk political ethics. Breaking out of Birmingham they helped define a genre and continue to make music and tour to this day, remaining ever vital and relevant. Compiled by the band themselves The Beat - Hard To Beat Includes the seminal Mirror In The Bathroom and classics such as Hands Off… She’s Mine and Can’t Get Used To Losing You.
