  • Korova was a record label, named after the fictitious Korova Milk Bar that was featured in the film A Clockwork Orange, 'korova' (корова) also being the Russian word for 'cow'. The imprint was founded in London, UK in 1979 as a division of Warner Communications' WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) record company. Korova's first album release was Echo & the Bunnymen's debut album Crocodiles, with Zoo Records' Bill Drummond and David Balfe closely involved in the project. The label was originally active during the early to mid-1980s, not only releasing recordings by Echo & the Bunnymen, but also records by the Sound, Guns for Hire, Dalek I Love You, Tenpole Tudor, Ellery Bop and Strawberry Switchblade (like Echo & the Bunnymen, also management clients of Balfe).. Korova also released a couple of singles by Drummond and Balfe's band with Lori Lartey called Lori & the Chameleons and put out a few UK releases from the Residents catalogue, as well as American artist Jeff Finlin's Angel in Disguise, with the single "American Dream #109". However, by the time Echo & the Bunnymen released their self-titled 1987 album, the label/brand had been dropped, with the album being released on the main WEA label. In the 1990s, the label was re-activated by WEA for new indie-dance acts like (Jefferson) Airhead, with the label used again by Warner Music Group in 2003 to issue the 25th anniversary remastered editions of Echo and the Bunnymen's first six LPs. At this point, WMG decided to use the label again for a number of indie acts in the mid-2000s, such as Cosmic Rough Riders and the Storys, but the company had collapsed by 2007. (en)

Назва лейблу походить від вигаданої назви бару «Korova Milk Bar» з фільму «Механічний апельсин». Основною продукцією лейблу стали записи постпанк-гурту Echo & the Bunnymen. На лейблі було записано чотири ранні альбоми гурту, починаючи від дебютного Crocodiles. Лейбл був активний протягом 1980-х років, випускаючи не тільки продукцію Echo & the Bunnymen, а й інших виконавців, як-от Airhead, The Sound, Guns for Hire, Dalek I Love You, Tenpole Tudor, Лорі і Хамелеон, Еллері Боп, Адріан Борланд і Полуничний клинок. Лейбл був реанімований компанією Warner Music Group 2003 року для відтворення ранніх записів Echo & the Bunnymen та їх покращення у звучанні в цифровій обробці.
