The B&C Discography

More about the book

The narrative explores the rise and fall of B&C, a distribution company that initially thrived alongside its sister company, Island. Founded by Lee Gopthal, B&C shifted from distribution to record releases, focusing on licensing rather than artist signings. This approach led to a concentration on singles and budget compilations, which ultimately contributed to its decline. The company's inevitable demise in 1975 highlights the challenges faced in the music industry and the consequences of strategic missteps.
