|label creation  = The idea of the [[Paisley Park Records]] label emerged during the summer of 1984. Since 1981, [Prince]] has produced albums for [[The Time]], [[Vanity 6]], [[Sheila E.]] and [[Apollonia 6]] under the [[Jamie Starr]] pseudonym and offered many songs to various other acts. [[Paisley Park Records]] was basically an extension of [[The Starr Company]] imprint used on the records he fully produced. With the label, [[Prince]] Prince would deliver the master and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros. Records] would do the manufacture, distribute, and market the records (In 1992, the deal between [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros. Records] was revised as [[Paisley Park Records]] would decide how much to spend on videos and promotional activities. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros. Records] and [[Prince]] would operate as partners, sharing investments and profits). The first acts signed to the label were [[Mazarati]], [[The Family]] and [[Sheila E.]]. The label shares its name with [[Prince]]'s recording complex [[Paisley Park Studios]] and the song [[Paisley Park]]. [[Prince]] 's first album to be released on Paisley Park Records, and also the label's first release, was [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_22|22 April 1985]]. All the subsequent releases, except for the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] album and related singles, would be on that label until the compilations [[Album:_The_Hits_/_The_B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]] in 1993.

[[Prince]]'s management firm at the time, [[Bob Cavallo|Cavallo]], [[Joe Ruffalo|Ruffalo]] & [[Steve Fargnoli|Fargnoli]], began signing artists to the label, at times even without [[Prince]]'s knowledge or permission. That precipitated the beginning of the end to a successful partnership. Shortly after firing the management team, lawsuits ensued and it was discovered that the label was mismanaged from the outset, with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] taking heavy losses due to exorbitant advances paid to [[Prince]] and his management team for the label. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] also helped to pay for [[Paisley Park Studios]], and executives insisted on a return on their investment, which resulted in several major artists recording their albums at [[Paisley Park Studios]], at times even against [[Prince]]'s wishes.

First Associate Single Release:

Prince's first record label, Paisley Park Records, a co-venture with Warner Bros. Records was founded in 1985 and debuted with the release of Around The World In A Day. The label shares its name with Prince's recording complex Paisley Park Studios and the song Paisley Park.

Artists who recorded for Paisley Park Records include The Time, Sheila E., The Family, Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Rosie Gaines, Carmen Electra, Jill Jones, The Three O'Clock, Ingrid Chavez, Dale Bozzio, and Taja Sevelle. Paisley Park Records also released albums by Mazarati, Good Question, Madhouse, Eric Leeds, and Tony LeMans.

The label ceased business in 1994, when Warner ended its distribution deal with Paisley Park Records, effectively closing the label.


History
Label Creation

The idea of the Paisley Park Records label emerged during the summer of 1984. Since 1981, [Prince]] has produced albums for The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E. and Apollonia 6 under the Jamie Starr pseudonym and offered many songs to various other acts. Paisley Park Records was basically an extension of The Starr Company imprint used on the records he fully produced. With the label, Prince Prince would deliver the master and Warner Bros. Records would do the manufacture, distribute, and market the records (In 1992, the deal between Prince and Warner Bros. Records was revised as Paisley Park Records would decide how much to spend on videos and promotional activities. Warner Bros. Records and Prince would operate as partners, sharing investments and profits). The first acts signed to the label were Mazarati, The Family and Sheila E.. The label shares its name with Prince's recording complex Paisley Park Studios and the song Paisley Park. Prince 's first album to be released on Paisley Park Records, and also the label's first release, was Around The World In A Day on 22 April 1985. All the subsequent releases, except for the Batman album and related singles, would be on that label until the compilations The Hits / The B-Sides in 1993.

Label Life

Personnel

The President of Operations for the label was Alan Leeds, brother of saxophonist Eric Leeds. Leeds had previously served as Prince's tour manager. He was replaced by former trade journalist Gaham Armstrong. Craig Rice also served as President shortly after Alan Leeds left.

Mismanagement

Prince's management firm at the time, Cavallo, Ruffalo & Fargnoli, began signing artists to the label, at times even without Prince's knowledge or permission. That precipitated the beginning of the end to a successful partnership.

Shortly after firing the management team, lawsuits ensued and it was discovered that the label was mismanaged from the outset, with Warner Bros. Records taking heavy losses due to exorbitant advances paid to Prince and his management team for the label.

Warner Bros. Records also helped to pay for Paisley Park Studios, and executives insisted on a return on their investment, which resulted in several major artists recording their albums at Paisley Park Studios, at times even against Prince's wishes.

Paisley Park Records folded with Prince retaining the masters of all artists, artists advances that were kept by the company, and no support from the label.

Label Closure

In early February 1994, Warner Bros. Records and Prince announced the collapse of their joint venture, and the disbanding of Paisley Park Records label.
