Editing Scotti Bros. Records

Founded in [[1974]] by Tony and Ben Scotti, Scotti Bros. Records became famous by releasing hit albums from such acts as Leif Garret, Survivor, and [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]. 

The company was renamed "All American Music Group" in 1996 (most likely to better associate it with All-American Television, its TV syndication arm), only to be bought out the next year by Pearson PLC. The company's back catalog was eventually sold to [[Volcano Entertainment]], who also took over Weird Al's contract (all other artists signed with Scotti were dropped).

==Notes==

* In an [http://www.weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0399 "Ask Al"] interview, Weird Al revealed at long last the riveting story behind how "Dare to be Stupid" wound up in the ''Transformers the Movie'' soundtrack.
**''Thomas Stanford of Buffalo, NY asks: I'm a huge Transformers fan. I always found it interesting how "Dare to be Stupid" ended up in the middle of it. How did you manage that?''
**'''Weird Al: The Transformers soundtrack came out on Scotti Bros., so oddly enough, there were a bunch of Scotti Bros. artists on there. I think I probably got a phone call saying, "Hey, we're gonna use one of your songs in this movie, if that's okay with you," and I probably said, "Sure, why not - hey, how did you get this number?"'''
