 PolyGram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PolyGram was the name from 1972 of the major label recording company started by Philips as a holding company for its music interests in 1945.
PolyGram's strength in classical music helped greatly, as many of the CD's early adopters were classical music lovers.
PolyGram acquired United Distribution Corporation (UDC) in 1973 and signed distribution deals with MCA and 20th Century Records in 1976.

 PolyGram Holding, Inc., et al. - Complaint
PolyGram Holding, Decca Records, PolyGram Records, and PolyGram Distribution agreed not to discount and not to advertise the 1990 Three Tenors album and video from August 1, 1998 through October 15, 1998.
PolyGram N.V. ("PolyGram"), a Netherlands corporation, acting directly and through certain subsidiaries (collectively, "PolyGram Music Group"), was for many years engaged in the business of producing, marketing, and distributing pre-recorded music and videos in the United States and worldwide.
Warner Music Group and PolyGram Music Group were concerned that the audio and video products that would be derived from the upcoming Three Tenors concert in Paris would be neither as original nor as commercially appealing as the earlier Three Tenors releases.

 Business Wire: PolyGram 1998 Second Quarter Results
The decline was mainly due to PolyGram's weaker pop music release schedule in the period, which caused pop sales to be down 7% in the first half compared to 1997.
However, we are encouraged by the solid improvement in music performance compared to the first quarter of this year, predominantly in the month of June.
Commenting on the results, Jan Cook, chief executive officer of PolyGram, said: "As expected, PolyGram's music performance in the first half of 1998 faced a difficult comparison with last year, when a number of international and local releases achieved very strong sales.

A deal for Polygram would immediately transform the Seagram-owned Universal Music Group into the No. 1 record company in the world, with annual revenues just shy of $7 billion.
Privately, many of Polygram's record label chiefs expressed concern about their futures, while publicly repeating that it's business as usual.

 N&V Summer/Fall 1997: Cannes Accord Diffuses European Direct Distribution Crisis
Meanwhile, Polygram International Music Publishing, who had exercised the privilege involving direct distribution of royalties from MCPS to Polygram local affiliates, filed a complaint with the European Commission against the continental societies, questioning the legality, under the Treaty of Rome, of any proposed impediments to the MCPS/Polygram Records agreement which the societies might cause.
As was customary with the centralized licensing agreements executed between a major record company and a specific European mechanical licensing body, the licenses Polygram would receive from MCPS would cover manufacturing and sales activity throughout the European Union, alleviating the need to secure such licenses on a country-by-country basis.
At the latter meeting, the societies considered certain sanctions against MCPS, which included the option of terminating their respective reciprocal representation agreements with the U.K. mechanical rights body.
