Almo Sounds

Record label

Almo Sounds was a record label which was started in 1994 by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss after they sold A&M Records to PolyGram. The intent for the label was to recreate the initial concept of A&M Records as a small, "boutique" label.

The label signed artists Gillian Welch, Imogen Heap, Ozomatli and Garbage and several other artists. Psychic TV did demos that were rejected for the label. Herb Alpert himself released his "Second Wind", "Passion Dance", and "Colours" albums on the label.

A Nashville division was launched in 1995.[1] Headed by record producer Garth Fundis,[2] it released albums by Paul Jefferson, Billy Yates, and Bekka & Billy.

The label has not released new product since 1999 and in 2000 it was sold to Universal Music Group.[3] Commercially viable catalog albums remain available through Interscope Records, a current sister label to A&M.
