Union Square Music is one of the UK’s leading reissue and compilations specialists. Formed in October 1999 by Peter Stack, former MD of MCI, Union Square Music’s aim is to release good value high quality CD and DVD releases right across the musical and entertainment spectrum. The company’s first CD releases came out in March 2000 with DVD following on in March 2003. An aggressive release policy has seen the company’s catalogue grow to over 300 titles and a flourishing sub-licensing division now controls over 7,000 tracks from rock to classical, jazz to punk. Based in West London, Union Square Music has quickly established itself as a major force and is set to rapidly expand its activities over the coming years.

All Union Square single and multi-artist CD titles are released on various label imprints including Metro, Essentials, Sessions and Manteca. Each label has a regular release schedule and operates at a specific price point. Highlights include ‘Nina Simone: The Essential Album’ (Metro), the groundbreaking ‘Beyond Nashville’ project (Manteca), ‘80s Groove Sessions’ (Sessions) and ‘Brazil: The Essential Album’ (Essentials). Around 80 new CD compilations are released each year.

DVD releases cover a similarly broad musical spectrum, including concert performances from major artists, films, documentaries and specially commissioned productions. Highlights include the classic ‘Slade In Flame’ film, ‘Gospel According To Al Green’, ‘Karaoke Party Time’ and ‘The Damned Live In London’.

Union Square Music now owns and administrates a number of high profile label catalogues for 3rd party exploitation including Stiff, Tappan Zee, Acid Jazz, Cube, Savoy Jazz and Denon Classics.
