American Bearsville Records was founded in 1970 by Bob Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman. In it's initial artist roster was Jerhico, and Todd Rundgren (alias Runt). 
The label never enjoyed the same success in Britain that it did in the States.
Bearsville continued until 1984 when the label was shut down.
