HOW WE GOT HERE
1950
Before London The Pickwick name begins in the American market, a decade before it reaches Britain.
1962
A West End office Humble beginnings in London's vibrant West End, and the start of a company that would become a powerhouse of the budget music sector.
1960s
Accessible music for all We pioneered affordable records for everyone, releasing our own diverse repertoire on iconic labels like Hallmark and Allegro, while serving as the trusted budget arm for CBS, RCA and Walt Disney.
1970s
Top of the Pops An innovative spirit took us into the burgeoning children's market, launched the immensely popular sound-alike series, and built an extensive — and widely envied — classical catalogue.
1980s
Eight video labels The same instinct made us a significant force in video distribution.
1990s
The reissues We distinguished ourselves through the exceptional quality of our CD reissues, particularly our acclaimed series dedicated to historic record labels.
2000s
Going digital The industry is ever-evolving and we have always embraced change — bringing the repertoire to most major download and streaming platforms, and a global audience.
Today
Custodians Proud keepers of a rich audio legacy, introducing classic sounds to new listeners while serving the enduring passion of long-time fans.
THE LABELS
WHAT SIXTY YEARS GETS YOU
Our deep respect for musical history, combined with a forward-thinking approach to distribution and curation, is what sets us apart.
Depth
A rich collection — classical, children's, country, Irish, ballroom, easy listening, sound-a-likes and more. Genres a production library simply doesn't hold.
Care
Preserved properly. The exceptional quality of our CD reissues is the proof: a 1965 master that still stands up to a broadcast spec.
Control
Ours to clear. We own the masters and licence them directly — no third-party chase, no waiting on a rights holder.
Access
Built on accessible music for all, and that hasn't changed. Every project, big or small, deserves the right sound.
