Beyond Music

Beyond Music was an American record label group based in Los Angeles, California.

[1][2] The label group operated as an arm of Kovac's Left Bank Management firm (founded in 1983), which he jointly ran with Jeffrey Sydney.

[2][3][4] The label was known for its strategy of "resurrecting" bands and artists that had decreased in popularity with unusual high-profile marketing campaigns, and its roster included Yes, Blondie, Veruca Salt, Mötley Crüe, Vince Neil, and others.

[2] BMG signed a pressing-and-distribution (P&D) agreement with Beyond Music to distribute the label group's release internationally;[2] outside of the United States, some of Beyond Music's releases were licensed to and distributed by a variety of labels, such as EMI Records for Canada and Sony Music Entertainment (SME) for Europe.

[7] The label, along with Left Bank Management, went into liquidation towards the end of 2002 following a dispute between Kovac and Sydney, resulting in more than a dozen employees being laid off.
