Transatlantic
was founded in 1961 by Nat Joseph. It started primarily
as an importer of American folk, blues and jazz records - by many
of the artists who influenced the burgeoning British folk and
blues boom. Within a couple of years, the company had started
recording British artists. The company's philosophy was intentionally
eclectic and Transatlantic became successful in a variety of musical
genres including folk, blues, jazz, ragtime, pop and rock.
In 1975, Joseph sold a 75% share of his company to Sidney Bernstein's
Granada Group and the company became part of Granada. There was
a culture clash between the independent-spirited Transatlantic
and the corporate sensibilities of Granada. Two years later
Granada sold its share in Transatlantic to the Marshall Cavendish
publishing company - which also acquired Joseph's 25% share. The
new company was renamed Logo Records. |
