TVT Records

From Free net encyclopedia

TvT Records is an independent record label in the United States.

The label was founded as Tee Vee Toons by Steve Gottlieb in 1985. The express purpose of the label at that time was to release Television's Greatest Hits, a series of recordings of American television theme songs.

The label eventually began to distribute other music, particularly synth pop. The first releases of Nine Inch Nails were on the TvT label. It picked up a number of notable early Industrial acts after purchasing the bankrupt Wax Trax! label in 1993. TvT continued to use the Wax Trax! imprint for years afterwards.

Among TvT's most prolific artists are The Muzicianz, O Solo, Adrienne, Jacki-O, Yo Gotti, Ying Yang Twins, 213, Pitbull, KMFDM, The Connells, Guided by Voices, Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz, Mic Geronimo, Esham, Sevendust, Default, Closure, Underworld, and Teedra Moses.
