1993 - AURA Records
"I think doing it on my
own label was probably the only
way all this music could have come
together in one package."
-TJ
LINER NOTES
In 1993 Tommy started his own independently distributed record label AURA RECORDS. The rationale for starting such a company was simple...Tommy now owned a great many of his own master recordings and most of his publishing.
The first AURA release was a "double CD box set" highlighting the best of Tommy's post-Roulette career. It was called TOMMY JAMES DISCOGRAPHY: DEALS & DEMOS '74 - '92, and was a collection of all his singles and best album cuts from the five labels he had worked with since leaving Roulette... MCA, Fantasy, Millennium, Polygram/21, and Aegis.
As a special bonus, several never-before-heard demo tracks were added to the album to bring this time period to completion.
"I thought I knew the record business until I actually got into the record business...dealing with retailers, distributors, and promo guys, at such a street level, was quite an education. But it was a great feeling, finally being in control of the whole machine". -TJ
