Yeah, it was Warner Bros, obviously

CMU clarifies that Jeremy Marsh became Vice-Chair of Warner Bros UK, not Warner UK, after readers queried the naming of the major's UK divisions.

When, on Monday, we said that Jeremy Marsh had become Vice-Chair of Warner UK we obviously meant he had become Vice-Chair of Warner Bros UK, one of the major's two main UK divisions (alongside Atlantic).

I'm not sure major labels should be allowed to have divisions with very similar names to the parent company (Sony seem to managed without actually having a Sony Records division). Especially not in August when my Edinburgh Fringe fried brain (you know we also publish the biggest review media at the world's biggest festival, right?) can't cope with such things.

Yes that's it. Next year can EMI Records, Universal Records and Warner Bros Records all change their name for August? They have my permission to revert to the norm come September.
