History
In 1985, Danny Goldberg became the label's president.[4] Goldberg founded an anti-censorship group called the Musical Majority to counter the call for rock and roll records with explicit lyrics to have warning labels.[5] He also wrote a book, Bumping into Geniuses describing his experience of the music industry by going through the many stages of his career from journalist to manager. Goldberg did PR for Led Zeppelin, managed the career of Nirvana, ran Atlantic Records, Mercury Records and Warner Bros. Records.[6][7]
Gold Mountain Records changed its name in 1987 to Gold Castle Records.[citation needed]
