Sire Records was formed in 1966 by record entreprenuers Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer.
Sire was the label to boost American punk bands like Ramones, Talking Heads, and Richard Hell & the Voidoids, only to call them new wave in an effort to make them seem less antagonistic and more marketable.
Sire licensed some of the most groundbreaking European electronic pop: the Normal's "Warm Leatherette," Telex's "Moskow Diskow," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love." Sire was the favored American label of '80s Anglophiles, importing the Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Aztec Camera, and later, prime shoegaze bands My Bloody Valentine and Ride.

 Ministry - Chic Trib 3-28-86
In its 4 1/2 year history, Chicago band Ministry has recorded for (A) the Wax Trax label, an independent Chicago concern, (B) Arista Records, a major national label, and (C) Sire Records, another major that is a branch of the Warner Bros. recording empire and Ministry's current home.
Its records tend to be adventurous, uncompromising affairs - terms that also fit Ministry's recordings through the years - and the label pretty much knows its records aren't going to reach the Top 100, let alone the Top 10.
"Even if Sire completely leaves you alone, you always have in the back of your mind that your music is going to be distributed to a lot of people, and a lot of people are going to have opinions on it," says Jourgensen.

By that I mean the kind of negotiation that results in the record company frontloading the deal to the extent that the band has to sell a lot of records in order to pay back the huge advance that they have been given by the label.
I guess my track record would indicate that I've gone for art over commerce, favoring artists who wind up selling very little at the time but then are venerated 15 or 20 years later.

Based on my belief that: a) late 80s college radio/alternative music was the natural progression of new wave, if not the real thing; b) Nirvana, grunge, the decline of US indie labels, and the appropriation of the term "alternative" by record company promo departments ended the party by the Fall of '91.

Speaking of Warners, when they picked up Sire and decided to get behind punk in a real way, they asked Greg to come in and give a pep talk to their executives, explaining what punk was and why they should support it.
Greg had resigned from UA and Phonograph Record in 1975 when he got involved with the Groovies; now he poured his energy into chronicling the new punk movement in the pages of Bomp, based on his travels and observations.
One of the projects that has passed through Sire during his tenure there had been Lenny Kaye's "Nuggets" album, which had been deleted on Elektra when Sire reissued it in 1976, just in time for it to became a huge influence on all the new punk bands.
