Records Of Canada, Ltd. (the company started officially using this name in Feb 1970) 1971-05-28 to 1972-06-15 Kinney Music Of Canada, Ltd. 1972-06-15 to 1988-11-04 WEA Music Of Canada, Ltd. Please be aware, that Warner Bros. Records wanted to start a subsidiary Canadian company in 1967. In the August 12, 1967 issue of Billboard on page 59 it is announced: "Warner Bros. Records of Canada, Ltd. formally opens Oct. 1" A few weeks later on August 31, 1967 "Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Records of Canada, Ltd." was registed, after Warner Bros. was acquired by Seven Arts at this time. Most likely many labels for the new company were printed before the company was sold to Seven Arts. For this reason, all the mono from the Seven Arts period show the credits "Warner Bros. Records Of Canada, Ltd." on the labels. This don't mean that they where released after June, 25th 1970. Also several stereo releases are known, that where released before the 25th of June 1970. This can be recognized for example by label designs that where out of use in summer 1970. Please try to document the label designs, possibly provide images for this reason, if use release dates prior to 1970.
