SWAN
RECORDS
Independent label: Swan Records was a
Philadelphia based label, founded in 1957 by Bernard Binnick and Tony Mamarella
and active for about ten years. The label sprang to prominence in 1964 when it
delivered The Beatles' second american number one hit, 'She Loves You'.
After EMI's american company Capitol turned down The Beatles' first singles,
their manager Brian Epstein took to licensing them to small american labels. He
leased 'She Loves You' to Swan in 1963, but it only became a hit after Capitol
finally broke The Beatles with 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and Swan were able to
successfully re-activate it in January 1964. In the '50s, america's
longest-serving DJ and TV host Dick Clark was an investor in Swan and
other small record companies, but after a congessional investigation following
up allegations of payola involving record companies and radio stations he gave
up his label interests. In the U.K. It managed at least two singles that
was released around 1975 for the Northern Soul market, by Global Records of
Manchester. It issued singles in S-4000 numerical series. Distributed By
Global Records.
