It included a record label (<a href="/wiki/Maverick_Records" class="mw-redirect" title="Maverick Records">Maverick Records</a>), a film production company (Maverick Films), book publishing, music publishing, an adjacent Latin/<a href="/wiki/Spanish_language" title="Spanish language">Spanish language</a> record label (Maverick Música), and a television production company. </p><p>The first releases for the company were Madonna's 1992 coffee table publication <i><a href="/wiki/Sex_(book)" title="Sex (book)">SEX</a></i>, and its accompanying studio album, <i><a href="/wiki/Erotica_(Madonna_album)" title="Erotica (Madonna album)">Erotica</a></i> (released simultaneously); the book, notably, drew harsh criticism towards Madonna herself, despite the book's intention to be read as an erotic and irreverent “poetry journal” with artistic, vintage-style black-and-white photos, and a telling of fictional romantic escapades. </p><p>Journalist and biographer <a href="/wiki/J._Randy_Taraborrelli" title="J. Randy Taraborrelli">J. Randy Taraborrelli</a> considered the existence of Maverick Records to be an "anomaly", as Madonna became one of the first female artists to head a <i>real</i> record label, and one of the few women to run her own entertainment company.<sup id="cite_ref-Taraborelli_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Taraborelli-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>DeMann was bought out of the company for a reported $20 million in 1998. <a href="/wiki/Guy_Oseary" title="Guy Oseary">Guy Oseary</a> increased his stake in the company and took control as chairman and CEO, thus Madonna was no longer the head of Maverick. Madonna and Dashev left in 2004 after a lawsuit between Maverick and Warner Music Group, in which Maverick had accused parent label Warner of not providing sufficient operating funds to compete against other, bigger labels for music acts. Since 2009, the label has been defunct; some of its acts were transferred to <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records" class="mw-redirect" title="Warner Bros. Records">Warner Bros. Records</a>, directly. In 2014, the brand was revived as a <a href="/wiki/Maverick_(management)" title="Maverick (management)">management group</a>, founded by Oseary, in-partnership with <a href="/wiki/Live_Nation_Entertainment" title="Live Nation Entertainment">Live Nation Entertainment</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maverick_(company)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Beginnings">Beginnings</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maverick_(company)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Beginnings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Maverick Records launched in April 1992 as a unit of the Maverick entertainment company.

The company had divisions for recording, music publishing, television, film, merchandising and book publishing. The venture was part of a $60 million recording and business deal between Madonna and <a href="/wiki/Time_Warner" class="mw-redirect" title="Time Warner">Time Warner</a>. It gave her 20% royalties from the music proceedings, one of the highest rates in the industry, equalled at that time only by Michael Jackson's royalty rate established a year earlier with <a href="/wiki/Sony" title="Sony">Sony</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-NYT_-_$60_million_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYT_-_$60_million-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the time of its launch, the company was bi-coastal, with offices in <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> and <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>.
