4 LIBERTY RECORDS INK INTERNATIONAL LABEL DEAL WITH TELSTAR
After lengthy negotiations, pioneering UK garage label 4 Liberty Records
have signed a long term international label deal with Telstar.
4 Liberty's artist roster includes the Dreem Teem, Colour Girl and new
signings G:UK, and the label is widely credited with crossing UK Garage into
the mainstream via chart hits that included The Dreem Teem's '97
breakthrough 'The Theme' and it's follow up 'Buddy X 99'.
Label founder and C.E.O Tony Portelli commented on the deal ;
'Telstar are our perfect partners due to their independence, and director
Pete Hadfield has been a long time supporter. This is the right deal at the
right time, and allows us to market our artists globally. Prior to this
partnership, lack of marketing spend was our biggest drawback to competing
on a level playing field, obviously that's no longer a problem. I'm
delighted to be working with a partner who understands our need for
independence, but shares our passion for music.'
The first fruits of this new business partnership come in the shape of 4
Liberty's garage singer/songwriter Colour Girl's forthcoming single
'Joyrider' (You're Playing With Fire), released on July 24th, and her debut
artist album 'Special' released August 7th.
