From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
US record label
Scotti Brothers Records
(typically spelled
Scotti Bros. Records
) was a
California
-based
record label
founded by
Tony
and
Ben Scotti
in 1974. Their first success was releasing singles and albums from teen pop star
Leif Garrett
. They later helped launch the careers of
David Hallyday
,
Felony
,
Survivor
, and
"Weird Al" Yankovic
(the latter under their
Rock 'n' Roll
banner). They also signed
James Brown
to a recording contract in the mid-1980s as well as the UK act Flag featuring
David Cairns
from
Secret Affair
and Archie Brown.
Tommy Puett
released his only album
Life Goes On
in 1990 under Scotti Brothers Records.

The label, as well as the Scotti brothers themselves, ran an independent motion picture production company
Scotti Bros. Pictures
, and was associated with the
television syndication
company
All American Television
(which later became part of All American Communications after becoming involved in the production and distribution of
Baywatch
; some Scotti Bros. recording artists made occasional guest spots on the show) since the company's inception. In 1996, Scotti Brothers Records was renamed
All American Music Group
, but the Scotti Brothers name was retained as a label of All American, along with sister labels Street Life and Backyard.

After
Pearson PLC
purchased All American in 1997, the Scotti Brothers contracts, masters, and catalogs were sold to
Zomba Records
subsidiary
Volcano Entertainment
, which was later bought by
Sony Music Entertainment
. All Scotti Bros. artists were dropped, with the exception of Yankovic and Survivor, who were switched to Volcano.
The Scotti Brothers Records catalog is now wholly owned by Volcano Entertainment.
