<i> Arts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services and the nation's press</i>
Jem Records Inc.--one of the nation’s largest importers and distributors of pop records--said Wednesday it had filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code. Jem almost single-handedly fed the American appetite for punk and New Wave artists from Britain and the rest of Europe in the mid and late 1970s, when demand for non-American pop product was at its height.
