Perspective Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perspective Records was an American record label, launched in 1991 by the producing team Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, through a joint venture with A&M Records—which Jam/Lewis had had a prosperous working relationship with throughout the 1980s, with several of its major acts including Janet Jackson, The Human League, and label founder Herb Alpert.
Acts on Perspective's roster included Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard, Bobby Ross Avila, Smooth, Mint Condition, Lo-Key, Solo, Sounds of Blackness and Ann Nesby. From 1993 to 1996, A&M Records released most of its own urban acts through Perspective. In 1997, Jam and Lewis decided to sign new artists to their Flyte Tyme Records and discontinue Perspective as artists left that label. At the same time, Jam and Lewis moved distribution from A&M to the PolyGram label.[1]
