Mushroom Records Discography
Mushroom Records was a Canadian label, founded by brothers Dick and Wink Vogel in Vancouver, BC, in 1974. Mushroom also established a US corporate presence in Los Angeles. It lasted until 1980, barely a year after their A&R head Shelly Siegel died of an aneurism.
Most, if not all, of its artists were Canadian. Its most famous and successful group was Heart, who released two albums, Dreamboat Annie and Magazine, which were both sold to Capitol Records in the 1980s.
