Talk:Sony Music/Archives/2016

Odd article

Why is this article full of information long before the music side of Sony was formed. To imply this company was founded in 1929 is so far of the truth that its funny. The article is mostly about companies that had nothing to do with Sony before they were bought out. Would be like having one article for Mercedes-Benz that just talks about Chrysler's history. Came here to read about Sony not about companies before Sony. Very odd article written by someone not sure how to talk about mergers and buyout. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.83.213 (talk) 22:24, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Record companies evolved over time. Sony Music was founded as ARC in 1929 which was bought by CBS and later bought by Sony. Universal Music began as Decca Records USA in 1934. Warner Music Group began as Warner Bros. Records in 1958. Steelbeard1 (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
