Caroline Records started out as a subsidiary of Richard Branson's Virgin Records label during the early to mid 1970s. The label originally specialized in putting out budget price LPs by mainly progressive rock and jazz artists generally not considered to have a great deal of 'mainstream' or commercial appeal, but were often however creatively of great interest.
Both the U.S. and U.K. branches of Caroline Records are subsidiaries of Caroline Distributing, which in turn is owned by EMI. Caroline has a number of subsidiary labels including Astralwerks, Gyroscope, Caroline Blue Plate, Rocks the World, and Scamp.
