Prelude Records (record label)
- Prelude Records (record label)
Prelude Records was a New York-based dance independent record label, active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At one time, François Kevorkian held an A&R at Prelude. The label owner was Marvin Schlachter.
Prelude was first launched in 1976, renamed from British label Pye Records' short-lived, ill-fated American record label of the same name which had begun in 1974; the new name was derived from the music group Prelude which had recorded for Pye at the time. At the outset, Prelude's LP and 45 catalogue numbers were the same as had begun under Pye (US), with the prefix changed from PYE- to PRL-. For a very short period at the start, Pye's then-parent, ATV Music, owned Prelude.
Prelude's biggest hits included "In the Bush" by Musique (1978), "Come to Me" by France Joli (1979), and "Must Be the Music" by Secret Weapon (1981).
