Label GB

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.

Formed in mid-1977 in Dublin, the Virgin Prunes were known as "the most overtly subversive rock group ever to come out of the genre." Their reputation was built on outrageous stage performances and a unique collection of record releases. Singers Guggi and Dave-iD Busaras, along with guitarist Dik Evans, bassist Strongman, and drummer Pod, released their first single in 1980. The band went through several lineup changes before releasing their album Sons Find Devils in 1998. They released a retrospective video and a compilation album of rarities in 1985. The band disbanded in 1986 after Gavin Friday left to pursue a solo career.

In 1980, Guggi, Dave-iD Busaras, Dik Evans, Strongman, and Pod released their first single together. Despite facing lineup changes throughout their career, including Mary D'Nellon taking over guitar duties and Pod returning as drummer later on; they managed to release albums such as Sons Find Devils (1998), which had been recorded earlier but not released
