About
Prog-rock label from France founded in 1986 by Francis Grosse and Bernard Gueffier. Label Code = LC 9709 or LC 09709 Musea was first founded in November 1985 as a non-profit organisation in Dombasle-sur-Meurthe (Close to Nancy, in the north-east of France.). Its first activity consisted in gathering the stock of existing undistributed albums from French Progressive Rock, jazz-rock fusion and new musics artists, and sell them to private customers or wholesalers. Following the success of this distribution activity, they decided to launch their own label in March 1986, and produce records by French artists whose music was discarded by major labels at the time. Very soon, and long before the appearance of the CD format which made it a lucrative venture, Musea decided to reissue works from the past, allowing a great number of people to get important pieces of French Progressive Rock history, without paying collector's prices. Distribution was an obvious success in the USA, Japan, Europe and lots of other places in the world, thanks to the international contact and network the label had set up. In France, the label had to set up its own distribution network in the year 2000. Today Musea is established as one of the most important Progressive Rock labels in the world.
