Big Brother Recordings

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Big Brother Recordings Ltd. is a record label set up in 1994 to release material by rock band Oasis in the UK and Ireland through independent distribuitor [PIAS] UK (formerly Vital). On June 19, 2008 a deal was signed with Sony BMG which entitles them to an arranged portion of the profits from the next three Oasis studio albums to be released through Big Brother.. The name of the company is a reference to the band's guitarist, singer and songwriter Noel Gallagher, who is the older brother of lead singer Liam Gallagher. The catalogue number of each release begins with "RKID", which stands for "our kid"; Northern England slang to refer to a brother. The imprint was started after Alan McGee announced on November 25, 1999 that he was leaving Creation Records, Oasis' original record company. The first release on Big Brother was the single "Go Let It Out" (catalogue number 'RKID 001') on February 7, 2000, the lead single from the band's fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.
