Marbitt

Marbitt Records was founded in 1962 by music producer and entrepreneur Marbitt Jones in Los Angeles, California. Initially focused on rock and pop music, the label gained prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the rise of psychedelic rock and folk influences. Notable artists associated with Marbitt include the influential band The Electric Roses, known for their experimental sound, and singer-songwriter Lila Hart, whose poignant lyrics resonated with the counterculture movement. Throughout the 1980s, Marbitt expanded its catalog to include new wave and alternative rock, signing acts like The Neon Shadows and The Urban Echoes. The label's commitment to artistic freedom attracted a diverse roster of musicians, contributing to its reputation as a nurturing ground for innovative talent. Although Marbitt faced challenges in the 1990s with the rise of digital music, its legacy endures through its contributions to various genres and its role in shaping the sound of a generation.
