Virgin Records is a British recording label founded by British entrepreneur Richard Branson, and Nik Powell in 1972 after a period of selling discount records via their small shop in London.
The name Virgin, according to Branson (in his autobiography), was chosen to reflect the label's policy of distributing high-quality pressings of albums, using non-recycled "virgin" vinyl.
Virgin Records was sold by Branson to EMI in 1992 for a reported £550 million.
