Food Records

Food Records was a record label set up in 1984 by David Balfe. Originally formed as an independent record label with distribution going through Rough Trade Distribution, Food licenced acts to the PolyGram Records offshoot London and Warner's WEA Records, before becoming closely associated with the EMI group's Parlophone label. In 1988, EMI invested in the label and then in 1994 EMI gained complete control and folded it into Parlophone in 2000.
