‘CBS Records’ returns, not so much the records
Steve Safran December 16th, 2006
CBS Records, one of the best-known names in the recording biz, is back courtesy of - yep - CBS. The original CBS Records was sold to Sony in 1988. The new CBS Records is distributing music online only right now through iTunes, with plans to sell downloads from its other sites and its own site as well. And when it does put out CDs, it will do so through partnerships with other labels or distributors. CBS is going to use the music imprint to promote its artists in the TV shows produced by CBS Paramount Television and its family of television channels. CBS Records music videos will be shown on the CBS Broadcasting online offering, innertube. (Via paidcontent)

If “records” is the noun for “recording,” this isn’t as much of a misnomer as it seems. Now, had they called it CBS Vinyl….

I’ll bite, but only if they pronounce it re-CHORDS, and not WRECK-erds.
