Warwick Records (United Kingdom)


Warwick Records is a British record label active in the 1970s and early 1980s, established by Ian Miles, which specialised in producing song compilations that were sometimes given away as 'promos' with other products, such as magazines. Warwick was also a TV-advertised budget record label, and was distributed by Multiple Sound Distributors in the UK.

History

In the late 1970s, Warwick became closely associated with CBS Records, releasing compilations from their catalogue such as Tony Bennett's 20 Greatest Hits by Tony Bennett, with Pye Records for three Acker Bilk albums, and The Hit album series. Promoted on TV at budget prices, many issues appeared in the UK album charts.
