See for Miles Records
See for Miles Records (SFM) was a British record label that specialised in reissuing rock classics.[1][2] It was one of the first British re-issue specialists predating the emergence of compact discs.[2][1]
See for Miles reissued "oldies", including most of the records of many labels such as Dandelion Records on CD in the 1990s.[citation needed] The label reissued 56 Ventures albums on 28 CDs.[3]
Operations
[edit | edit source]The name hints both to its co-owner Colin Miles and The Who's "I Can See for Miles".[citation needed]
Mark Rye, known for managing Bill Nelson_(musician), joined See for Miles just as CDs were becoming popular, and started Magpie as its authorised mail-order company, in 1990.[4][5] He had previously worked with Colin Miles at EMI.[citation needed] One of his business partners was Steve Waters.[6]
Legacy
[edit | edit source]The company went into administration and in 2007 the label rights were sold to Phoenix Music International.[7][additional citation(s) needed]
Rye and Waters went on to work on the Rockhistory.co.uk series, filming British Invasion bands, and issuing a CD series called Extended Play.[6]
