Interscope, Almo Agree to Distribution Deal

Interscope Records has struck a domestic distribution agreement with the 3-year-old Almo Sounds label, supplanting Almo’s former deal with Geffen Records. Interscope is half-owned by Seagram’s Universal Music Group; Geffen Records is fully owned by Universal.

Almo will integrate its marketing and promotional operations with Interscope, but will also add a regional promotions department and publicist in-house. Almo was founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss after they sold A & M Records to PolyGram.
