The Team

JUDY LIBOW, an industry professional for over 30 years, began her career in the music business at WQIV, a progressive rock radio station in New York City. Judy’s radio experience and strong industry contacts brought her to Atlantic Records, an association that she enjoyed for 16 years. Rising to a senior executive position as Vice President of Radio Promotion, Judy helped launch and develop the careers of internationally renowned, multi-platinum artists such as AC/DC, Foreigner, INXS, Phil Collins and The Blues Brothers! In addition, she’s credited with helping further the careers of The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Stevie Nicks, Crosby Stills & Nash and Led Zeppelin (including Robert Plant as a solo artist). Following her tenure at Atlantic Records, Judy established Libow Unlimited Inc., a national music promotion and artist development company whose clients have included Bon Jovi, Julian Lennon, Midnight Oil, Def Leppard, Styx, and REO Speedwagon.

Classics Du Jour, the newest division of Libow Unlimited is the culmination of years of rock music appreciation and simply being a fan.

PINK FLOYD - THE DIVISION BELL & STORM THORGERSON
