| | Variety.com - Polygram exex surround Island |
| | Polygram paid nearly $300 million for Island Records in 1989. | | | The shift at the top also puts a question mark over the future of Sigerson, the former EMI Records chief who was ousted as part of a corporate-wide restructuring and who is in negotiations to become Island's latest prexy (Daily Variety, Sept. 22). | | | But the choice of Sigerson only made sense to Polygram execs, sources suggested, if Blackwell was still at the helmhelm and maintained his famous hands-on approach. |
