PolyGram Special Imports

In the USA, PolyGram Special Imports (PSI) was a distributor of European product on PolyGram-associated indie labels, focusing on jazz and classical titles. In Canada, PolyGram Special Imports offered nearly any product from PolyGram and PolyGram-associated labels worldwide, as long as the artists weren't signed to Canadian labels; these imported releases were treated as if they were domestic Canadian releases, with the mechanical royalties paid by PSI.

In July 1982, they acquired the following labels for distribution in the US: Red Record.
