Threshold Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Threshold Records was a record label created by The Moody Blues, after their 1969 album, On the Threshold of a Dream.
It was a UK subsidiary of Decca Records. The band formed this label to allow for artistically packaged gatefold covers for their LP releases, and for releasing band member solo efforts.
Bassist John Lodge produced the band Trapeze for the Threshold label. After 1976, the Moody Blues went back to having their albums manufactured by Decca Records (and later PolyGram and Universal Records), but the Threshold company and logo were maintained over the years as a means of selling their records through their own record shop in Cobham, Surrey.
Moodies albums up to and including 1999's Strange Times were branded in association with Threshold Records.
