About CBS
CBS is the record label under which CBS Records issued Columbia's catalogue outside North America, because EMI owned the Columbia name in most other markets.[1] The United Kingdom launched it on 1 May 1962, the rest of Europe followed in 1962 and 1963, Australia and New Zealand replaced the Coronet label with it in January 1963, and South Africa had used it since 1956.[2] Sony bought CBS Records on 5 January 1988 with a three-year licence to use the CBS brand, acquired the international Columbia rights on 15 October 1990 and replaced CBS with Columbia from 1 January 1991, except in Spain and Japan; the CBS name then returned to CBS Inc.[2]
Sony Music's Australian Gold Series CD reissues of 17 May 2019, among them Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the Tracks, carry the CBS label credit alongside Sony Music, and Blood on the Tracks prints ℗ and © CBS Inc. with manufacture by Sony Music Entertainment (Australia) Limited.[3][4] The CBS Records label that CBS Corporation started on 15 December 2006 for music from its television programmes is a separate business with none of the former company's artists or assets.[2]
