ABOUT
Prestige Elite Records Limited was formed in the United Kingdom in 1988 by founders Hal Shaper and Keith C. Thomas, who already had long music industry experience as publishers, songwriters, musicians and artist management. Over many years now, the company has produced or acquired many recordings internationally in all genres of good music and continues to release finished product commercially and digitally worldwide.
The group is run by an experienced, friendly and long-serving team of staff of professional people who can handle all business requirements relating to activities of the group of companies and we are always ready and willing to help with any enquiry with a timely response. We are always interested in new acquisitions to expand our recording catalogue, productions and music publishing activities. Our recordings are available worldwide for licensing to other recording outlets, advertising agencies or special product marketing.
We are continually developing our website and hope to have our full catalogue listed soon available by genre, artist or album. In the meantime, please contact us for a catalogue, track-listing's or anything else. All our tracks are digitally mastered or remastered.
ARTISTS
Osibisa: Credited for introducing African music to European and North American audiences, Osibisa are the most successful and longest lived of the African-heritage bands in London, founded in 1969. The likes of The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder etc were mesmerised by the roof-lifting ability of Osibisa, and all sought advice and mentorship from Osei. ‘Osibisa criss-cross rhythms that explode with happiness’ – Nile Rodgers
