The history and the discography of the Island Records label can conveniently be divided into three phases:
- The Jamaican Years, covering the label's releases from 1959 to 1966
- The New Ground Years, covering 1967 to approximately 1980.
- The Consolidation Years, covering 1980 onwards. In 1989, Chris Blackwell sold Island Records to PolyGram, resulting in a remarketing of the Island back catalogue on compact disc under the Island Masters brand.
