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).
