General info :
CBS Records, Inc. was a company lauched by CBS, Inc. (Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. ) in 1962. It is often simply referred to as CBS in logo.
This subsidiary was established mainly for releasing the Columbia releases. CBS Inc. couldn't use that brand outside the US because EMI Group owned the rights of the Columbia brand in most of the rest of the world, while Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. had rights to the name in Japan.

CBS Inc. set up a number of additional companies to market these CBS releases. Examples are CBS Records SA in France, CBS Grammofoonplaten BV in the Netherlands and CBS Schallplatten GmbH in Germany.

In the UK, the CBS label was initially distributed by Philips Records Ltd. from 1st May 1962, before becoming independent in early 1965.

These companies also used the CBS label to release records that were made by local artists.

CBS Inc. sold CBS Records, Inc. in 1988 to the Sony Corporation of Japan.

In 1991, the CBS Records, Inc. was renamed Sony Music Entertainment, Inc..

The CBS Records label was renamed Columbia Records after Sony acquired the Columbia name and trade marks from EMI.

In 2007, the CBS Corporation, CBS Inc.'s successor, revived the CBS Records brand.
That new CBS Records label is not related to the former CBS Records, Inc. business or its artists or assets, which were acquired by Sony in 1988.
