ABOUT
For over six decades, Pickwick Group has been at the forefront of bringing timeless music to audiences worldwide. We are more than just a record company; we are curators of an unparalleled sonic heritage, passionate about preserving and sharing the rich tapestry of music that has shaped generations.
From our humble beginnings in London's vibrant West End in 1962, following a lineage in the American market dating back to 1950, Pickwick Group rapidly grew to become a powerhouse in the budget music sector. We pioneered accessible music for all, releasing our own diverse repertoire on iconic labels like Hallmark and Allegro, while also serving as the trusted budget arm for major labels such as CBS, RCA, and Walt Disney. Our innovative spirit led us to create unique recordings for the burgeoning children's market, launch the immensely popular "Top of the Pops" series, and build an extensive, widely envied classical catalogue. We even became a significant force in video distribution with our eight dedicated labels.
The music industry is ever-evolving, and Pickwick Group has always embraced change. In recent years, we've distinguished ourselves through the exceptional quality of our CD reissues, particularly our acclaimed series dedicated to historic record labels. Simultaneously, we've been at the forefront of the digital revolution, ensuring our extensive repertoire is readily available across most major download and streaming platforms, enabling us to effortlessly reach a global audience.
Our deep respect for musical history, combined with our forward-thinking approach to distribution and curation, sets us apart. We are proud custodians of a rich audio legacy, committed to introducing classic sounds to new listeners while serving the enduring passion of long-time fans.
As we look to the future, Pickwick Group remains dedicated to our mission: to celebrate the enduring power of music. With a legacy spanning more than half a century, we are excited to continue adapting, innovating, and bringing the best of our timeless catalogue to the world for many years to come.
