M.A.M. Album Discography

M.A.M. Records, an abbreviation for Management Agency & Music, Ltd., was founded by Gordon Mills along with Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. It was distributed by London Records in the United States and Decca in the U.K. It was launched in 1970 and finally sold to Chrysalis Records in the 1980s.

The most successful artist for the label was Gilbert O'Sullivan, who had a string of international hits for the imprint between 1970 and 1975. Also notable is the 1972 album Rockpile by Dave Edmunds, featuring his hit single "I Hear You Knocking" [MAM 3601], which made #4 in the US and #1 in the UK after its release in late 1970.

Outside the US, singer-songwriter Lynsey DePaul was quite popular for the label, but she never managed to create a presence in the US. Her album remained unissued here.

M.A.M. used the same label design throughout its life. It was blue with silver print, with the label name at the top in red and white letters.
