  MGM Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the early 1950s, MGM Records was considered as one of the "major" record companies (besides Columbia, RCA, Decca, Capitol and Mercury).
Subsidiary Cub Records was launched in the early sixties and Verve Records was acquired from Norman Granz in 1961.
MGM Records was sold to PolyGram in 1972 and discontinued in 1975.

 Mike Curb - Biography - AOL Music
When Curb took over MGM Records at the end of the 1960s, while he was in his mid-twenties, he began a very public "clean up" of the label by dropping all of the supposed "drug-oriented" acts from the label's roster.
In their stead, MGM (which already had the Cowsills on board) became known as the home of the Osmonds -- the singing Mormon siblings were Curb's crowning glory at the time, and were followed onto the roster a couple of years later by the DeFranco Family of Canada.
But the MGM studios had fallen on hard times in the second half of the 1960s, and 2001 would be their last big-budget hit or hit soundtrack (the studios would yield one huge film music hit in 1971, with the movie Shaft, but its soundtrack was owned by Stax Records).

 The MGM Records Story
MGM issues thousands of singles, EPs, and albums from it's birth in 1946 until it was subsumed into PolyGram in the mid-1970s.
MGM was considered to buy performers away from other labels rather than to build up new talents.
Under MGM executive Mike Curb (later to be Lieutenant Governor of California), in 1970 MGM fired 18 groups from its roster who had publicized the use of drugs in their songs.

 Till the Clouds Roll By (Original Soundtrack) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
MGM also took the opportunity to launch MGM Records and issue the first true soundtrack album on four 78 rpm discs: Till the Clouds Roll By, the original motion picture soundtrack, was released as MGM Records catalog number 1.
Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra, who appeared in the picture, had exclusive recording contracts that prevented their performances from being issued by MGM Records.
MGM can't be blamed for its commercial considerations in not releasing, say, an eight-disc version of the soundtrack, and must be credited with releasing the album at all.
