History
In 1993, Gordon Anderson and Gabby Castellana separately started Collectors' Choice Music and Hep Cat Records & Distribution, which became important outlets for buyers and sellers of vintage music recordings. Eighteen years later, they joined forces to launch Real Gone Music, a reissue label dedicated to serving both the collector community and the casual music fan with a robust release schedule combining big-name artists with esoteric cult favorites. The label combs the vaults for sounds that aren't just gone—they're REAL GONE, from any era, any genre, from superstar acts or the most overlooked artist. Unique among American indie reissue labels, its release schedule features about ten titles per month.
