When [[MGM Records]] neglected to exercise a contract option in 1968, FZ founded [[Bizarre Productions]] with manager [[Herb Cohen]]. This company mutated into [[Bizarre Records]] (with distribution taken care of by [[Warner Bros.]]' [[Reprise]] label) by October 1968. "Sister" label [[Straight Records]] was formed by FZ in the spring of 1969 to release material by slightly off-center artists, but these artists were not nearly as extreme as those on [[Bizarre Records|Bizarre]] (hence, the name "Straight" versus "Bizarre"). After [[Straight Records|Straight]] finished its independent run with [[Reprise]] and [[Warner Bros.]]-distributed stints, the [[DiscReet Records|DiscReet]] label was created in 1973.
