Company and label established in 1966 by Stuttgart based German publishing company Georg von Holtzbrinck as a classical music and singer/songwriter label.
In the early 1970s, Intercord founded the Spiegelei label as a platform for Krautrock and progressive music.
As a company, they also licensed labels from abroad, f. ex. Freedom or Sonet. The most important international partner was Mute, represented by Intercord in Germany/Austria/Switzerland from 1981 on and until acquired by EMI.
German (speaking) top artists like Herbert Grönemeyer, Reinhard Mey and Pur started their careers at Intercord.
Mainly in the 1980s, Intercord released many colored/marbled vinyls, some of those becoming sought after collectors items.
From the late 1980s on, Intercord also became a main player in Dance music. Releases on their Blow Up label topped the German Charts and were also extremely successful in Asian markets, helping Intercord to become the biggest German record company not owned by a 'major'.
Intercord also ran an import service (for many years distributing CBS and Columbia records not released by CBS Germany), which emerged into a 'company within the company', the IRS (Intercord Record Service). IRS and Intercord shared a label called Alternation, which both signed own artists and licensed releases from other labels.
Intercord was sold to EMI in 1994, at the peak of its success. In 2000, EMI closed down Intercord and integrated the label in their own roster.
