MGM Records was a record label started by the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film
studio in 1946 for the purpose of releasing soundtrack albums of their
musical films. It transitioned to a pop music label which continued
into the 1970s. The company also released soundtrack albums of the
music for some of their non-musical films as well, and on rare
occasions, cast albums of off-Broadway musicals such as The Fantasticks
and the 1954 revival of The Threepenny Opera. In one instance, it even
released the highly successful soundtrack album of a film made by a
rival studio, Columbia Pictures's Born Free (1966).
