Morgan Creek Records

Morgan Creek Records was a music label established as an offshoot of Morgan Creek Productions, an American film production company founded in 1988. The record label was created to manage and release soundtracks for films produced by the studio, as well as to sign and promote music artists. While Morgan Creek Productions was known for producing a variety of popular films in the late 1980s and 1990s, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Last of the Mohicans, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the record label had a more niche role within the industry.

Morgan Creek Records gained attention particularly for its work with movie soundtracks, notably for Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which featured Bryan Adams' hit single "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You." This song became a massive commercial success, topping charts worldwide and earning critical acclaim, significantly boosting the profile of the label. The label also released soundtracks for other Morgan Creek films, contributing to the marketing and cross-promotion of the studio's projects.

While Morgan Creek Records was not as large or as influential as other major labels, it played a significant role in the music industry by providing a platform for soundtrack releases that complemented Morgan Creek's film productions. Over time, as the focus of the parent company shifted and changes in the music and film industries occurred, the activities of Morgan Creek Records diminished, and the label became less prominent. Nonetheless, its contributions to memorable film music during its active years are still appreciated by fans of the movies it supported.
