Bearsville Records

From 1972 until its folding, the label was distributed by Warner Bros. Records in most countries. Paul Fishkin was the president of Bearsville from 1971 to 1979. In 1978, Bearsville relocated their national headquarters to Los Angeles while keeping their offices in Bearsville, New York and New York City. In the UK it was distributed by Warner until 1979, and then Island until 1981. Its last few British releases were licensed to independent labels Avatar and Lamborghini. Records ceased active operations in 1985. Rhino Records currently distributes Bearsville catalog. Many of the artists on the roster recorded at Grossman's Bearsville Studios, in the similarly named hamlet in Woodstock, New York.
