American. Brother was started by the Beach Boys in 1967 as a vehicle for their own records and for other people's records which they had produced. When the band signed with Reprise in 1970 the label became Brother / Reprise, and the logos of both companies were featured on its products when they appeared in Britain. Over here Brother operated from 1971-78, albeit not very prolifically. Catalogue numbers of its singles were shared with those of Reprise.
