MSP were already manufacturing records and tapes for the Warwick Records, Pickwick Records, Reader's Digest and K-Tel labels. In August 1979, MSD purchased the two plants owned by Immediate Sound Services Ltd.; the London branch, and the branch in Caerphilly, Wales formerly owned by Rediffusion Records, for $1.5m.
