Pride was one of the many MGM spinoffs with a name that suggested their logo lion. Many of the
early issues on the label were in fact reissues of old material. Pride did sign one major group, the
Sylvers, who had several hit albums and singles for them.
Their swan song for MGM distribution was the 1973 album by the Incredible Bongo Band. After that, the
label switched to Atlantic for distribution of a few more releases. The
Sylvers went to Capitol, although MGM reissued the Pride albums on the parent label.
