Food Records was a record label set up in 1984 by Andy Ross and David Balfe. Originally formed as an independent record label with distribution going through Rough Trade Distribution, Food licenced acts to the Polygram offshoot London and Warner's WEA Records, before becoming closely associated with the EMI group's Parlophone label. In 1988 EMI invested in the label, whilst in 1994 EMI gained complete control and folded it into Parlophone a few years later.
