Overview
Overview
When its original founders sold the Canadian parent company to new owners in 1995, the British office was not part of the sale – instead, it became a separate company which continued to be owned and operated by founder Phillip Hill. At the same time, his former business partner Eric Goodis took over ownership and operation of the former parent company's office in the United States to form Cargo Music. The American and British companies thus were not affected by the Canadian company's bankruptcy in 1997, and both remained in operation as of 2024.
