The label was conceived by MCA president Sidney Sheinberg as a way for the Los Angeles-based entertainment conglomerate to expand its business on the East Coast.
Other acts that had chart entries on Infinity included Hot Chocolate,[1] Dobie Gray, New England, Orleans, Orsa Lia, TKO and Spyro Gyra.
Under the distribution of MCA, the Infinity Records label released titles in the US, Canada, the UK, Japan and parts of Europe.
Most of the one million advance copies of the John Paul II album were returned unsold to the label, producing a huge financial loss.
The collapse of Infinity also coincided with rising costs of manufacturing for vinyl LP records and a huge sales slump for the music industry.
