Biography[]
Mercury was started in 1945 in Chicago and early-on, established themselves as a major label due to their fast-turnaround of pressed records. Mercury released records in all genres, but became especially known as a country label. In 1961, they were bought by Phillips, and later Polygram. This allowed them to control Casablanca, making Mercury move into a pop label exclusively. Later, they were bought by Universal and Island ended up absorbing them, disbanding the label and using the brand only for reissues.
