Lion was distributed by MGM Records. The name "Lion" had originally been used in the 1950s as a
budget subsidiary of MGM, but had been long discontinued by 1972. In 1970, Dallas Smith and Jimmy
Webb had started an MGM-distributed label called Lionel, and by 1972 closed Lionel and started
Lion once again, transferring many of the Lionel artists to the new Lion. The '70s version of Lion lasted
until 1973.
