MGM Records was a record label started by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio in 1946. In the early 1950s, MGM Records was considered as one of the "major" record companies (besides Columbia, RCA, Decca, Capitol and Mercury). In 1961, MGM bought Verve Records from Norman Granz. MGM was sold to PolyGram in 1972.
