Operations
Operations
Notable management include Terry Scott Taylor (A&R 1997–1999), Billy Smiley (A&R 1999–2002, formerly of White Heart), Kevin Jackson (formerly of the band Chase and Dajhelon Entertainment Group), David Bahnsen (formerly of Tooth & Nail), and Frank Chimento (formerly of 7ball magazine). In addition to its own portfolio of artists KMG acquired the assets of Frontline Records, whose catalog consisted of a large number of alternative Christian music bands. KMG began re-releasing many of these albums as double-disc sets. The re-releases had covers which were described as generic, and contained only the cover images of the album inset around a purple background. Inside was a one-page description of the band, and the albums contained no extended or tribute material. At different times distribution was handled through Diamante and Pamplin Music.
