  • RSO Records fue un sello discográfico, formado por el empresario del rock and roll y de los musicales Robert Stigwood en 1973.​ "RSO" es la abreviatura de Robert Stigwood Organization. La oficina central de la compañía estaba en la "67 Brook Street", en London's Mayfair. El sello pasó por cuatro etapas de distribución: primero por Atlantic Records, luego com un sello independiente, después por Polydor Records, y finalmente por PolyGram Records. RSO adsministró las carreras de varias superestrellas (Bee Gees, Yvonne Elliman, Eric Clapton, Andy Gibb, y, como sello discográfico, lanzó los soundtracks de Fama, , Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, , Grease (sobre las 25 millones de copias vendidas alrededor del mundo), y Saturday Night Fever (más de 30 millones de copias vendidas en el mundo). El lanzamiento de los últimos dos álbumes hizo que RSO obtuviera el éxito financiero más grande de las disqueras de los años 1970. Así como el éxito financiero acumulado por RSO, el sello independiente produjo varios éxitos en las listas Pop nunca antes vistos en la industria de la música. Al punto de 1978, el sello obtuvo un impredicho récord: seis #1 consecutivos en el US Billboard, tomando el tope por 21 semanas consecutivas con el éxito Baby Come Back de Player. Con singles lanzados del álbum de la banda sonora de Grease ("You're The One That I Want", y el tema del título de la película) y un gran hit de Andy Gibb, RSO lograría 10 semanas adicionales en la posición #1, dándole al sello 9 temas en un año de calendario (perdió solamente el décimo tema "Too Much Heaven" que llegó al tope de las listas el 6 de enero de 1979). Este logro se mantiene imbatido, no habiéndolo superado ningún sello discográfico hasta la fecha.Tan alto como el sello iba triunfando en 1978, fue la desastrosa falla comercial y crítica de la versión en película de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band hecha por RSO paralizó a la compañía. Los males de este fracaso monumental fueron solamente en parte compensados a mediados de 1979, con el álbum de los Bee Gees "Spirits Having Flown", que llevó a la eventual venta de cerca de 20 millones de copias (con el álbum produciendo tres singles #1 seguidos, cada uno vendiendo más de 1 millón de copias por sí mismos). Por 1981 Stigwood había terminado su participación con el sello, que fue absorbido por PolyGram años más tarde. (es)

  • RSO Records was a record label formed by rock and roll and musical theatre impresario Robert Stigwood and record executive Al Coury in 1973. The letters "RSO" stood for the Robert Stigwood Organisation. RSO managed the careers of several major acts, the Bee Gees, Yvonne Elliman, Cream, Eric Clapton, and Andy Gibb. The release of the soundtracks of Saturday Night Fever (over 35 million copies sold worldwide) and Grease (over 30 million copies sold worldwide), which were two of the best selling albums ever, made RSO one of the most financially successful labels of the 1970s. Additionally, the record label released the soundtracks to Fame, Sparkle, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Times Square and Grease 2. At one point in 1978, the label boasted an unprecedented sixth consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard (US) pop charts, holding the top spot for 21 consecutive weeks. With singles releases from the Grease soundtrack album ("You're the One That I Want", and the title track) and another huge Andy Gibb smash ("Shadow Dancing"), RSO would log a further 10 weeks at the number 1 position, giving the label a record nine in one calendar year. This feat remains unduplicated by any record label to date. The company's main headquarters were at 67 Brook Street, in London's Mayfair. RSO Records underwent four distribution stages: by Atlantic Records from March 1973 to December 1975, by Polydor Records from January 1976 to December 1977, as an independent label under the PolyGram Group umbrella from January 1978 to around October 1981, and finally by PolyGram Records from around November 1981 until the label's end in 1983. As well as the label was operating in 1978, the disastrous commercial and critical failure of RSO's movie version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band crippled the company. The woes of this failure were somewhat offset by the middle of 1979, as the Bee Gees album Spirits Having Flown went on to eventually sell nearly 20 million copies (with the album producing three further number 1 singles that each sold more than one million copies in their own right). In 1980, the label's most famous act, the Bee Gees, filed a $200 million lawsuit against both RSO and Stigwood, claiming mismanagement, which was met with Stigwood's own $310 million countersuit alleging libel, defamation of character and extortion. It is still considered to be the largest successful lawsuit against a record company by an artist or group. The lawsuit was subsequently settled for an undisclosed amount, and after a public reconciliation, the band remained with the label until its dissolution. By 1981, Stigwood had ended his involvement with the label, which was absorbed into PolyGram a few years later. All previous RSO releases were later re-released under the Polydor label, which is now owned by Universal Music Group. Reissues from Polydor are distributed in the U.S. by sister label Island Records. The Star Wars soundtracks would pass through several hands before ultimately ending up with Sony Classical in the 90s and finally Walt Disney Records after Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm Ltd., while the Bee Gees catalog reverted to the Gibb family, who set up a new distribution arrangement with Warner Music's Reprise Records, which reissued their albums and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack until 2016, when the Bee Gees signed a new deal with Universal's Capitol Records.

  • RSO Records — американо-британский лейбл звукозаписи, основанный в 1973 году музыкальным и театральным импресарио . С этим лейблом сотрудничали такие известные исполнители, как Cream, Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominos, Bee Gees, Yvonne Elliman, Andy Gibb, Suzi Quatro. RSO Records прошёл четыре этапа распространения: через Atlantic Records (с марта 1973 по декабрь 1975), через Polydor Records (январь 1976 — декабрь 1977), в сотрудничестве с PolyGram в качестве независимого лейбла (январь 1978 — октябрь 1981), и наконец через PolyGram Records (с ноября 1981 до конца своего существования в 1983). Название лейбла — RSO — представляет собой аббревиатуру «Robert Stigwood Organisation». В качестве логотипа Стигвуд использовал изображение легендарной красной японской коровы акабэко. В интервью, данном журналу Billboard в 2001 году, он рассказал, что идея создать новый независимый лейбл звукозаписи пришла к нему, когда он находился в Японии вместе с группой The Who. Японские друзья подарили ему изображение коровы акабеко, сделанное из папье-маше, которая является символом здоровья и удачи, и Стигвуд решил, что оно прекрасно подходит для его нового лейбла. (ru)
