Label Guide: Nimbus 9

Nimbus 9 Productions was a Canadian record label founded in March 1968 by composer and arranger Ben McPeek and three partners. McPeek owned a successful business, writing musical jingles for corporations since 1964, and he became known in Canada as the "Jingles King." Consequently, the first album on Nimbus 9 was made exclusively for Coca-Cola Limited: a split-LP featuring The Staccatos and The Guess Who.

The album was hugely successful in Canada and Nimbus 9 made The Guess Who their first contracted artist. In the 1970s they started a subsidiary, Umbrella, for direct-to-disc recordings.
