The
Beach Boys re-negotiated their contract with Capitol in early 1967. In
doing so they formed a new label, Brother Records, as an outlet for the
band and pet side-projects. The original label lasted for one LP (Smiley
Smile) and two singles ("Heroes and Villains" and "Gettin' Hungry"). The
Beach Boys were re-absorbed back into the parent label Capitol in October
1967.
In
1970, when the Beach Boys contract with Capitol expired, the band signed
on with Warner-Reprise.
The
singles from 1970 to 75 were almost always released on two label variations,
either with a full Reprise label with a Brother logo added, or a full Brother-Reprise
label. |
