More on Griffin Music
Description from Wikipedia:
Griffin Music was an independent record label created in 1989 in Toronto, Canada by author/publisher Robert Godwin. It was originally created to finance and record the second album of Led Zeppelin tribute act, Michael White & The White. During late 1989 and 1990, Godwin worked with Michael White and his band recording the album in studios such as Sunset Sound and United Western Recorders in Los Angeles and Metalworks Studios in Toronto.
The album was released as Griffin Music's first title in the spring of 1990. Having established the label with its first release, Godwin then pursued venerable British space rockers Hawkwind, finally securing the North American rights to two obscure albums in 1991. During the course of 1990, Godwin partnered the label with mega-distributor Feedback Incorporated of Chicago who took over the day to day operation of the label (headquartered in the suburb Lombard, while Godwin concentrated on finding artists and catalogs to sign to Griffin.
Between 1991 and 1995, Griffin Music would become one of the largest independent record labels in the United States, releasing back catalog of many European classic rock artists such as Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Motörhead, Denny Laine, Roy Harper, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, Rick Wakeman, Fish, Mike Oldfield, Nazareth, Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream, Steve Hillage, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and dozens of others.
In 1993, Griffin Music secured the license to manufacture and distribute a portion of the BBC in Concert series in North America. Later, Godwin and partner Neale Parker would form Griffin Video which would include many of the same bands' various concert videos.
