After Jake Rivera previously started Stiff Records, Radar Records and F-Beat Records, he founded Demon Records with Andrew Lauder and Elvis Costello in 1980.
In 1998 Demon was acquired by Crimson Productions and the record label was merged with its Westside Records operation.
The company is now known as the Demon Music Group and releases records by artists such as Jane McDonald and Marti Pellow, as well as a number of compilation brands such as the "Harmless" funk and the "Nascente" world music collections. As well as these Demon is also the European licensee of the Hi Records catalog.
