About BMG Ariola Argentina
BMG Ariola Argentina S.A. was the Argentine record company of BMG Entertainment International, Bertelsmann's music group, issuing Ariola releases and those of other labels in Argentina; its earliest credits date from 1989, and it worked alongside the pressing firm Electrosonora Manufacturas Saavedra.[1] It distributed the Argentine pressing of Natasha Bedingfield's album Unwritten in 2004,[2] and its name still appears as distributor and record company on the 2005 Argentine pressing of Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine, issued under Sony BMG copyright.[3]
Bertelsmann's music group, BMG, ceased as such on 5 August 2004, when its recorded-music business went into the Sony BMG joint venture.[4] The Argentine company then merged with Sony Music Entertainment (Argentina) S.A., the former Discos CBS, and on 22 April 2005 the combined company took the name Sony BMG Music Entertainment (Argentina) S.A., owned by Sony BMG Music Entertainment; on 19 December 2008 it was renamed Sony Music Entertainment Argentina S.A.[5] Discogs dates the end of its operations to the 2004 merger, when its publishing moved to the Sony BMG company.[1]
