Neighborhood Records

When New York-born folk singer Melanie Safla fell out with Buddah Records in 1971, she started up her own label, Neighborhood Records, with her manager and husband Peter Schekeryk, and immediately hit the top of the charts with 'Brand New Key' Melanie recorded for her own label for the next four years, and the label also took on few other unsuccessful signings before being sold to the growing MCA corporation.

First distributed by the Famous Music group of record labels (i.e. Dot, Blue Thumb, and Paramount), it shifted distribution to Bell/Arista before folding in 1975.
