I’m just wondering if anyone is familiar with the history of the Vox label. Here’s why:
I have two releases of a CD (links below). The fine print on one says
℗ & © 1997 THE VOX MUSIC GROUP, a division of SPJ Music…"
and the other says
℗ & © 1997 THE VOX MUSIC GROUP, a division of Essex Entertainment…"
Did Vox change hands in 1997? Even if so, it seems odd that a release under both conditions would happen in the same year. I can’t find any info about it on the web. Wikipedia has a page about Vox, but it doesn’t mention either parent company. Discogs has an entry that indicates SPJ is the newer parent.
Just a point of curiosity, if anyone knows.
