Food

Food Records was an independent record label set up in 1984 by Andy Ross and David Balfe. Originally distributed by Rough Trade, Food licenced acts to the Polygram offshoot London Records and Warner's WEA Records, before becoming closely associated with the EMI group's Parlophone label. In 1988 EMI invested in the label, whilst in 1994 EMI gained complete control and folded it into Parlophone a few years later.

Biggest successes for the label have been Jesus Jones, Dubstar, Idlewild, but especially Blur.
