Caroline Records (UK)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the American record label named Caroline Records, see Caroline Records (U.S.).

Caroline Records was a subsidiary of Richard Branson's Virgin Records label during the early to mid 1970s. The label specialised in putting out budget price LPs by mainly progressive rock and jazz artists generally not considered to have a great deal of 'mainstream' or commercial appeal, but were often however creatively of great interest.
