- Immediate Records was a British record label, started in 1965 by The Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham and Tony Calder concentrating on the London-based blues and R&B scene. Signed musicians included Rod Stewart, P. P. Arnold, Billy Nicholls, John Mayall, Savoy Brown, Small Faces, The Nice, Fleetwood Mac, The Groundhogs, Chris Farlowe, Duncan Browne and Humble Pie. There is evidence of recordings of two Mike d'Abo songs 'Little Miss Understood' and 'So Much to Say (So Little Time)' from The Immediate Singles Collection (1985; CCSCD 102), a compilation of Immediate Record's hits (including the rare cut 'Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonite' by the Jeremy Spencer-fronted configuration Earl Vince and the Valiants. The song was used as a B-side to Fleetwood Mac's 'Man of the World'). Due to financial problems the label stopped in 1970 and it has been the subject of controversy ever since. This is especially true in regard to unpaid royalties owing to The Small Faces, who made numerous hit recordings for the label between 1967 and 1969. Despite their success, the band received virtually no income from these often re-released records, until legal action finally secured payments from the present licencees in the early 2000s. According to Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones, most of Immediate's assets and income were embezzled by one of the company's senior partners, who allegedly channelled the funds to offshore bank accounts. In the US, Immediate first set up a deal with MGM Records, who issued three singles (033 - Chris Farlowe, 035 and 036-both Twice As Much) as part of the regular MGM series. Then Immediate set up a short-lived deal with United Artists, who issued two singles (047-P.P. Arnold, 050-Small Faces) as E-1901 and E-1902, using the Immediate moniker. Then Immediate signed a deal with CBS to set up a new label series, which picked selective Immediate singles and albums until they had a falling-out. Finally, Immediate set up a short-lived independent label in the U.S. to issue one single (082) and the last Nice album before the label went out of business.
- Immediate Records war ein britisches Plattenlabel und existierte von 1966 bis 1970.
- Immediate Records foi uma gravadora britânica fundada em 1965 por Andrew Loog Oldham, empresário do Rolling Stones. Era focada no cenário de blues e R&B britânico, e entre os artistas de seu catálogo estavam Small Faces, Fleetwood Mac e The Nice, entre outros. Devido a problemas financeiros, fechou as portas em 1970. Têm sido alvo de controvérsia desde então, especialmente por não repassar aos Small Faces os direitos autorais de seus sucessos lançados entre 1967 e 1969. Uma ação legal finalmente garantiu no começo da década de 2000 o pagamento aos dois músicos sobreviventes da banda, Kenney Jones e Ian McLagan.
