Radioactive Records
Radioactive Records was an American record label. It was formed as a joint venture between talent manager Gary Kurfirst and MCA Records, and it is now out of business. Its catalogue is now owned by Geffen Records and licensed through Universal Music Enterprises.
Acts on the label had included: Live, Black Grape, Jane's Addiction, the Ramones, Big Audio Dynamite, Talking Heads, Eurythmics, Traci Lords, and Angelfish. The band Pray TV from Melbourne, Australia, and British group Cooler Than Jesus were also signed by the label in the early 1990s.
Radioactive released the original soundtrack album for the nineteenth James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, as well as the title track "The World Is Not Enough", which was a massive hit single throughout Europe.
In 1997, Kurfirst formed a related label, Radiouniverse, as a joint venture with Universal Music Group's Universal Records. It debuted with albums from Radio Iodine and Dig, bands that were formerly signed to Radioactive. Other acts signed to the label included The Devlins and Tyzle Fly.
The Ramones catalogue, which was distributed by EMI's Chrysalis Records around the world except US and Canada, is owned by Parlophone except US and Canada, which is owned by Geffen and UMe.
