url = [http://www.bronzerecords.co.uk/ bronzerecords.co.uk]Bronze Records is an independent English
record label set up in 1971 byrecord producer Gerry Bron , and based inChalk Farm ,London .Bron had been producing Uriah Heep for
Vertigo Records near the end of that label's lifetime and he set up this new label for future Uriah Heep releases, along with Juicy Lucy, Richard Barnes and Colosseum. Others subsequent acts includedOsibisa ,Manfred Mann ,The Real Kids ,Sally Oldfield ,Motörhead ,The Damned ,Girlschool andHawkwind .Original manufacturing and distribution was through
Island Records , moving toEMI in 1977 and then ontoPolydor Records in 1980. The label folded in financial difficulty in the mid 1980s with the catalogue being sold to Ray Richards'Legacy Records .It was reported in early 2003 that Bron and
Pete Brown had "renewed an association that went back over many years. They realised that they still had one outstanding interest in common - a love of music - particularly British music... So the Bronze label was launched again." [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20041102023901/http://www.bronzerecords.co.uk/html/main.htm Bronze Records Home ] ]ee also
