Warner Music Group (WMG) traces its roots to the creation of Warner Bros. Records in 1958 as a division of Warner Bros. Pictures. Warner Bros. Records was founded to prevent Warner Bros. Pictures’ actors from recording with other record labels as well as to cash in on the music business.
Warner Music Group was sold to Seven Arts Production in 1967. In two years the company was sold to Kinney National Company, which later changed its name to Warner Communications.
Today WMG is one of the world’s largest recording companies, ranking third in the United States according to market share. The company operates in two main segments: Recorded Music and Music Publishing.
The company holds more than 1 million copyrights to 65,000 songwriters. In 2011 WMG was acquired by Access Industries.

Tried contacting the U.K. Customer Service (I am in the U.K.) with an issue regarding Fleetwood Macs Rumours vinyl.
I have three copies all with what I would call sibilance on tracks. I have purchased newer versions with similar problems so they went back.
I have beefed up my vinyl playing system: Gyrodec / Techno Arm / Goldring 1042 Cartridge / Rega Elix R Amp and Linn Majik 109 Speakers. About $6200 worth.
I then purchased a 35th Aniversary copy of the Rumours abum and found Track 2 Side 2 damaged and therefore would not play it. It was supplied shrink wrapped with pertinent stickers so not opened before I obtained it.
Your U.K. Customer Services were as useful as a Chocolate Fireguard(British Expression for useless) 🙂
All I want to know is – HOW CAN I GET A GOOD, PRISTINE, PLAYABLE VINYL COPY OF THIS ALBUM.
I look forward to a better response than I had from your U.K. Customer Services Team.
email above for prompt reply.
