CYPRESS RECORDS

HISTORY

Cypress Records was a division of Cypress Entertainment, Inc. headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Founded by Craig Sussman and Tom Cohen, the record label advertized itself as "committed to exposing music of passion and intelligence to a rapidy growing audience of mature record buyers."

Cypress albums, cassettes and compact discs were manufactured and distributed by A&M Records from 1987 through 1992. A total of 28 albums were released. Vinyl albums featured custom liners.

In 1989, Cypress offered a limited edition CD sampler, Critics Choice II through a magazine offer. The CD featured ten tracks by six Cypress artists. Only 2,500 copies of the CD were printed and were given away on a first come, first serve basis.
