Stop

Stop Records was founded in 1967 in the United Kingdom, emerging as a label focused on the burgeoning psychedelic rock and progressive music scenes. Initially gaining traction with its roster of innovative artists, Stop Records became known for its eclectic mix of genres, including rock, folk, and electronic music. Notable artists associated with the label included the influential band The Move, known for their experimental sound, and the avant-garde musician and producer, David Bowie, who briefly recorded under the label. The label's output in the late 1960s and early 1970s contributed to the broader cultural shifts in music during that era. Despite its relatively short lifespan, ceasing operations in the mid-1970s, Stop Records left a lasting legacy in the UK music scene, remembered for its contributions to the development of progressive and experimental music. The label's catalog continues to be celebrated by collectors and enthusiasts of the era.
