Riviera-LM Recording System was a record label founded in 1951 by Eddie Barclay and headed independently by Leo Missir.

History

In September 1964, Eddie Barclay and Phillipe Loury, then president of Erato Records, founded Compagnie européenne du disque (CED) to distribute record labels in a mass market system. Riviera and Erato were the first two labels used by the system.^[1] Riviera later became Riviera-LM Leo Missir.^[2] Riviera was distributed in Spain and Portugal.

Riviera gained distribution rights for Chess, Atlantic, and Stax and after compiling many recordings of these labels by initiating a system of direct imports from the USA for distribution in France.

Partial sale of Disques Barclay On November 16, 1978, PolyGram acquired a 40% interest in Disques Barclay and Societe Generale also acquired 40%, leaving Eddie Barclay with 20% of the company. Eddie Barclay remained as as president of the firm and retained operating independence in terms of artistic, commercial, and distribution activity.^[3]

Sale of Disques Barclaly In 1979, hit by the music industry crisis, Barclay sold his company, which included the Riviera label, to Philips-owned conglomerate PolyGram. His labels survived as a unit of PolyGram and then Universal Music Group.^[4]^[5]
