Immediate Records è stata una casa discografica britannica fondata nel 1965 da Andrew Loog Oldham e Tony Calder.

Storia

L'etichetta operò di fatto per soli quattro anni: Calder e Oldham sciolsero la loro società alla fine del 1969 e all'inizio del 1970 l'azienda fu liquidata per fallimento. Per la Immediate incisero, fra gli altri, Rod Stewart, P. P. Arnold, Billy Nicholls, John Mayall, Savoy Brown, Small Faces, The Nice, Fleetwood Mac, The Groundhogs, Chris Farlowe, Duncan Browne e Humble Pie.

Sebbene Oldham, fino al 1967, sia rimasto anche produttore dei Rolling Stones, questi ultimi non pubblicarono mai direttamente con la sua etichetta; tuttavia brani scritti da Mick Jagger e Keith Richards furono incisi da artisti della Immediate: P. P. Arnold (As Tears Go By), Chris Farlowe (Paint It Black, Out of Time, Ride On, Baby, Yesterday's Papers, Satisfaction, Think) e Nicky Scott (Backstreet Girl); i dischi in questione furono inoltre tutti prodotti da Jagger e Richards, sia in coppia che separatamente, spesso in collaborazione con lo stesso Oldham.

Catalogo

Sono qui elencati i titoli che la Immediate pubblicò nel Regno Unito e negli Stati Uniti d'America tra il 1965 e il 1969, cioè nel periodo di effettiva attività. Non compaiono ristampe posteriori (compresi i compact disc a marchio Immediate) e pubblicazioni su licenza in altri Paesi del mondo, anche del quinquennio anzidetto. I titoli sono ordinati cronologicamente secondo la numerazione di catalogo impiegata nel Regno Unito.
