US based Sheridan Square Entertainment, owners of V2 America and Artemis Records, have acquired the 200-album catalogue of rock label Spitfire from Eagle Rock Entertainment. The deal gives Sheridan Square, who recently re-branded under the name Redux Records, the rights to albums from the likes of Black Label Society, Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dio, Testament, Sebastian Bach and The Exploited.
Confirming the deal, Eagle Rock said that they would continue to operate in the recorded music space via their Eagle Records division, while looking to expand their other areas of business, which include a number of video and multi-media ventures.
Eagle Rock CEO Terry Shand told reporters: "We've had a great run with Spitfire Records. We will continue to key in on the acquisition of new multi-media projects, breaking new ground for the future, focusing already existing efforts into high-definition and alternate forms of new media."
