Current Records and Management was formed in 1982 by former Polygram Inc. Promotion Manager Gerry Young and two entertainment lawyers, Joseph Fodor and Brian Keevil. While at Polygram Gerry worked with such diverse international recording artists as Dire Straits, KISS, Cher, Randy Bachman, Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel.

The first signing by Current Records and Management was Juno-award winning artists Martha + the Muffins (“Echo Beach” Current/RCA). This was followed by the signing of another groundbreaking Juno-award winning band, The Parachute Club (“Rise Up” Current/RCA), as well as Vancouver's Strange Advance (“We Run” Current/EMI), Molly Johnson and Alta Moda (“Julian” Current/Epic) and The Boomtown Rats' Irish guitarist Gerry Cott (“Alphabet Town” Current/Polygram).

Along with these and other recording projects, Current also acquired the rights to Marvin Gaye's last concert tour recordings and compiled them into a 16-song CD titled Marvin Gaye: The Last Concert Tour, which was licensed worldwide to Giant/Warner Bros. Records in Los Angeles.
