United Artists Records
United Artists Records was a record label founded by Max E. Youngstein of United Artists in 1957 initially to distribute records of its movie soundtracks, though it soon branched out into recording music of a number of different genres.
History
In 1959, United Artists released Forest of the Amazons, a cantata by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos adapted from the music he composed for MGM's Green Mansions, with the composer conducting the Symphony of the Air. Brazilian soprano Bidu Sayão was the featured soloist on the unusual recording, which was released on both LP and reel-to-reel tape.
Besides the movie soundtracks and the few classical releases, UA had quite a few rock 'n roll and r&b hits from 1959 (and into the 1960s) with hits by The Clovers, Marv Johnson, The Falcons, The Exciters, Patty Duke, The Delicates, Bobby Goldsboro, Jay and the Americans, and later Manfred Mann and The Easybeats. Berry Gordy placed a number of early Motown acts with UA including Marv Johnson and Eddie Holland in 1959. UA signed Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller after they left Atlantic to produce artists. They had hits with The Exciters, Bobby Goldsboro, Jay and The Americans, The Clovers, as well as Mike Clifford. UA also covered folk with the inclusion of Gordon Lightfoot on the roster, and easy listening mood music with the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher.

by: UnearthTurn it off; Turn it off. (I) Won't make that mistake
(I've) Been down this road before
Think again; Think again. I will not compromise
(I) Won't compromise anything
Beat down; (I'm) At the end of my rope
Beat down; (I) Can't stand these changes
Beat down; Headfirst I take on survival, survival
Try to tear my down
I won't hesitate to stand face to face with my worst enemy (x2)
Standing tall in the face of defeat. Go it alone at my discretion
The hammer falls whenever my will says it does, I promise you
I've fallen all too far, Obsession with the shadow in the light
This constant war will lead me home
This constant war will force me onward
Try to tear me down, Headfirst I take on survival
I fell all too far, Obsession with the shadow in the light
I'm at a constant war(x2)
Yet this strife has carried me to my home
I've fallen all too far, Tear me down
Lost in the shadows in the light, Tear me down
Only word
It's been a lifetime of fueled obsessions
a promise kept is my only word
Only word
Lost in the shadows in the light, Tear me down
A promise kept is my only word
