Teal Trutone Music

Profile

[b]Teal Trutone Music[/b] was a South African record company with a history dating back to the 1940's. It was also a licensee/distributor for labels such as Vertigo, Polydor, PolyGram (incl. [l=Polygram Music Video]), Island, Chrysalis, A&M, Rave, and Fontana. [l103242] was its own, in-house label. After the first democratic elections in SA, the company disappeared around 1995 and eventually became [l145781] which, in turn, has since become part of the [l=Universal Music Group]. At this time, all that seems to remain of the name is [b]Trutone Industries[/b], a cassette manufacturing plant which, like [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Gallo+Record+Company]Gallo[/url], is part of the [b]JOHNNIC Communications media and entertainment group[/b]. Note: International albums bearing catalogue numbers [i]STAR* XXXX[/i] were in all likelihood distributed for the SA market by either Trutone or Gallo.
