Segueing to Polygram Records, he signed Mother Love Bone and, after the death of lead singer Andrew Wood, signed the remaining members to Epic…that band became Pearl Jam.

In 2003, Goldie moved to Sire Records where he re-launched the label with Chairman, Seymour Stein. While at Sire, his signings included Regina Spektor, Tegan and Sara, Against Me, HIM, Spill Canvas and The Veronicas.

In May 2008 Goldie left Sire for yet a new venture….to launch indie label, mom and pop music company with Q Prime management. The label’s first two signings are Joshua Radin and An Horse.
