Edel Music was founded in 1986 by Michael Haentjes in Germany as a mail order record company selling mostly soundtracks. With artists such as Scooter, SASH!, Holly Johnson and many others, it became a very successful pop music label. Edel was listed in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 1998. In October 1998, Edel produced a video series based on the EM.TV marketed cartoon series Sailor Moon as part of Edel's licensing contract with EM.TV, which gave Edel the right to produce German and European cassettes, CDs, and videos for the series through 2001. Over the years, Edel purchased the music labels Eagle Rock Records, Face Down Records (not Facedown Records), Gang Go Music, Club Tools, Control Records and Belgian Play It Again Sam. (Wikipedia)
