Constellation (2)

Sub-label of Solar, for the record company please use Constellation Records. In the early 1980's, Dick Griffey created a sub-label for Solar, called Constellation in order to release more contemporary acts, but as time passed by it seems he abandoned that thought and moved two of his top female acts (Carrie Lucas and Klymaxx) to Constellation (with which he shifted distribution from Elektra to MCA Records), together with the multi-ethnical group Collage (3). In 1986 Griffey decided to fold Constellation, and its acts either moved on to MCA Records directly, moved on to other labels, or were disbanded. The post-1984 Constellation material (particularly the Klymaxx material) is owned by Universal Music Group.
