Millennium Records

Millennium Records originally started at 3 West 57th Street New York in 1977, and was distributed by Neil Bogart's Casablanca label. The R&B group Brooklyn Dreams. Their artist was likely electronic music pioneer Meco, whose disco cover of John Williams "Star Wars/Cantina Band" cues from Star Wars was a number 1 hit in 1977. In 1978, Meco followed that up with two more Millennuim label movie-inspired hits: a number 25 hit "Theme From Close Encounters" and a number 35 hit "Themes From The Wizard of Oz". In 1981, Don McLean had three hits on the Millennium label: "Crying" which peaked at number 5; a number 23 song "Since I Don't Have You" and a number 36 song "Castles in the Air".[1] The company switched distribution to RCA Records in the early '80's before folding.
