History edit
Following the 1998 sale of Gudinski's Mushroom Records to Festival Records, Liberation Music was formed to continue to satisfy Michael Gudinski's desire to promote and develop Australian Music. Effective September 2006, Liberation is distributed by Universal Music Australia after leaving Warner Music Australia.
In September 2017, Liberation Music re-branded as Liberation Records. The Mushroom Group's newest imprint, Bloodlines, is now home to several artists previously signed to Liberation Music.
