'''Apple Records''' is a British [[record label]] founded by [[the Beatles]] in 1968 as a division of [[Apple Corps]] Ltd. It was initially intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles, both as a group and individually, plus a selection of other artists including [[Mary Hopkin]], [[James Taylor]], [[Badfinger]], and [[Billy Preston]]. In practice, the roster had become dominated by the mid-1970s with releases of the former Beatles as solo artists. [[Allen Klein]] managed the label from 1969 to 1973, then it was managed by [[Neil Aspinall]] on behalf of the Beatles and their heirs. Aspinall retired in 2007 and was replaced by [[Jeff Jones (music industry executive)|Jeff Jones]]. Jones stepped down on 21 October 2024.
