Capital Gold has announced it will broadcast a seven part radio documentary paying tribute to seven "legendary" record labels - Sony Music fore-runner CBS, SonyBMG's RCA, Universal's Island, Motown and Polydor Records, EMI and the recently reactivated Pye. The series will talk to the artists, producers and execs who worked with each label over the years.
Confirming the series, Capital Gold Network boss Andy Turner told CMU: "Legendary Labels is by far the biggest documentary series ever undertaken by Capital Gold. Making it has been a labour of love, taking over 18 months to track down and record the hundreds of interviews needed to produce the series. It clearly demonstrates that in-depth, quality radio documentaries are not the sole domain of the BBC".
The series will begin on 18 Mar at 7pm. A Universal released compilation, 'Capital Gold - Legendary Labels', will be released next month to coincide with the series.
