Label Guide: SGC

SGC Records was a very short-lived American record label for Screen Gems-Columbia (hence 'SGC'), the television division of Columbia Pictures. It was founded in 1968 and its four album releases, three by Nazz and one soundtrack album, were distributed by Atlantic Records.

Columbia Pictures already established several record labels, including Colpix and Colgems, when it acquired Bell Records in 1969 and merged the entire operations into Columbia Pictures Industries. In 1971, SGC Records and Colgems Records were both shut down.

In late 1974, Columbia Pictures Industries started another new record company, Arista Records, and the operations of Bell Records, along with any holdings left over from Colpix, Colgems or SGC Records, were folded into the new label.
