- Heavenly Records, aka Heavenly Recordings, is a London-based record label, distributed by EMI. Founded by Jeff Barrett, a former press officer for Creation Records and many successful indie bands of the time including Happy Mondays, Heavenly Recordings' first releases were 7" and 12" singles for bands Barrett had discovered. The label's early releases included singles and albums by acts such as Flowered Up, Saint Etienne, East Village and Manic Street Preachers. Their most significant early release was Saint Etienne's Foxbase Alpha album, released in 1991 to widespread critical acclaim and a Mercury Music Prize nomination. In 2003 Barrett partnered with former East Village lead singer/songwriter Martin Kelly who had worked alongside Jeff since 1989 and given up making music to manage bands. Together they brokered a distribution deal with BMG which enabled them to sign Beth Orton, The Hybirds, Monkey Mafia, Dot Allison, Q-Tee and Espiritu. Beth Orton's first album Trailer Park was well received by critics and sold modestly well. It won her two BRIT Award nominations and a Mercury Music Prize nomination. She won the BRIT Award for Best British Female in 2000 for her second album, Central Reservation. In 2000 Heavenly Records sought a new distribution deal with EMI and soon signed Manchester band Doves, 22-20s, and singer/songwriter Ed Harcourt. Beth Orton was dropped from the label in 2005 but continues to make records for EMI. Doves became a great success for the label, scoring four platinum albums in a row with Lost Souls (2000), The Last Broadcast (2002), Some Cities (2005), and Kingdom of Rust (2009). The Last Broadcast and Some Cities gave the label their first #1 albums. In 2004 the label signed brother/sister quartet The Magic Numbers. The Magic Numbers debut album went on to out-sell anything else the label had ever released, quickly becoming one of the biggest British bands of 2005 and earning them a BRIT Award Nomination in 2006 for Best British Newcomer.
- Heavenly Records ist ein Londoner Plattenlabel. Das Label wurde 1990 gegründet. Es stammte aus der Acid-House-Szene, entwickelte sich aber insbesondere Anfang der 1990er Jahre zu einem der wichtigsten Labels der Independent-Szene. Bekannte Bands auf Heavenly waren die Manic Street Preachers, Saint Etienne und die Doves. Einen starken Einfluss auf das Label und sein Umfeld nahmen Primal Scream, obwohl sie nie selbst eine Platte dort veröffentlichten.
- Heavenly Records är ett brittiskt skivbolag, distribuerat av Arista Records och EMI. Bolaget har huvudsakligen artister inom indiegenren i sitt stall. Stora band som ligger på etiketten kan nämnas Manic Street Preachers, Saint Etienne, Doves, The Magic Numbers och Beth Orton. På 1990-talet drev bolaget även nattklubben Heavenly Social i London och Nottingham, som ofta gästades av den tidens indie-kungligheter.
