Reprise

Reprise was founded in 1960 by Frank Sinatra himself, and it is owned by Warner music group. Frank Sinatra formed this label in order to allow more artistic freedom for his own recordings, fellow rat pack members Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. also moved to this label Frank Sinatra recruited a host of his own cronies for the label. After Sinatra’s death in 1998 it had great success with his greatest hits.
One of Sinatra’s principles is that each artist has full creative freedom and at some point complete ownership of their work, including publishing rights, this is the reason for most early Reprise artists (Dean Martin, Jimi Hendrix) are currently distributed through other labels.
Today, in addition to Young, it is home to such artists as, Oasis, Michael Buble, My chemical Romance, Eric Clapton. Reprise is also the North American label for British band Depeche Mode.
