  • Fiction Records is a record label that was founded in 1978 by Chris Parry as a home for The Cure. The record label went on to be shared by Chris Parry' Robert Smith of The Cure and Ita Martin. Their office was based in Charlotte Street, London. other notable acts to release on Fiction around this time were the Purple Hearts, Back To Zero [http://www.backtozero.freeola.net], Associates, Die_Warzau and Eat. The label's first #1 record was Wish by The Cure in 1992, going #1 in the United Kingdom. The band left the record label in 2001, signing to Geffen at the end of the year. After a dormant period of several years, the label was then re-started in 2004 by Joe Munns, Paul Smernicki and Jim Chancellor as a Polydor imprint. The first release on the 'new' Fiction was the Snow Patrol single "Run" (which entered the UK chart at 5) and album Final Straw which has since gone on to sell over 2 million copies around the world. Other notable acts from the current Fiction stable include Ian Brown, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Grates, Stephen Fretwell, The Maccabees, Kate Nash, Elbow, Delays and White Lies. (en)

  • La Fiction Records è un'etichetta discografica inglese, fondata nel 1978 da Chris Parry, precedente manager e talent scout della Polydor Records. La storia di questa etichetta è strettamente collegata a quella della band The Cure: infatti nel 1978 la band, agli inizi della sua carriera, mandò delle demo tapes a varie delle maggiori etichette discografiche, tra cui la Polydor, per cui lavorava al tempo Chris Parry. Egli fu così colpito dal suono di quel gruppo che decise così di dar vita a un suo progetto finora mai realizzato: la fondazione di una sua etichetta discografica, la Fiction Records appunto, iscrivendo i Cure come prima band gestita. Da allora in avanti Fiction Records è quasi sempre stato sinonimo di Cure, vista l'estensiva produzione del gruppo inglese e la sua fama mondiale, almeno fino al 2001, quando il contratto tra le due parti è terminato, non senza qualche frizione polemica, data soprattutto dalla vendita da parte della Fiction dell'intero catalogo della band alla Universal senza il consenso di Robert Smith, frontman e mente dei Cure. Altri gruppi minori firmati sotto l'etichetta Fiction sono stati: *Purple Hearts *The Associates *The Passion *Die Warzau *Eat *Candyland *The God Machine Principali gruppi correntemente firmati: *Snow Patrol *Yeah Yeah Yeahs *Ian Brown (it)
