Five Records

[Chris]

Can anyone explain to me the differentiation of 5pb Records vs. Five Records vs. Media Factory vs. Geneon Entertainment? I'm kinda confused. Thanks.

Five Records became 5pb. Records on November 30 2007 (I'll eventually code in label-to-label relationships, so it'll show up on the 5pb. page as a predecessor label). Geneon Entertainment is the main distributor for Five/5pb. Records (those albums usually have the catalogue stem of VGCD) while Media Factory also distributes some of their albums (ZMCZ, FVCG stems). You can usually see the publisher and distributor details printed on the obi.
