The Shelter/Arista deal terminated in 1981, which was the effective end of Shelter Records. Shortly after the label's demise, the catalog was purchased by Dunhill Compact Classics (later known as DCC), which reissued several Shelter catalog LPs and compilations. DCC (which issued mostly compilation CDs mostly licensed from other labels, many remastered by respected recording engineer Steve Hoffman) later went out of business. In 1991, the Shelter music publishing catalog was sold to Rondor Music. During 1993, the Shelter catalogue was bought out by Capitol/EMI, and their imprint The Right Stuff reissued many titles (except for Tom Petty and J. J. Cale albums, as the Tom Petty Shelter albums are controlled by Petty's estate and currently distributed by Rhino, owned by the Warner Music Group, also owners of Petty's former label Reprise Records, and the J. J. Cale Shelter albums are controlled by Universal Music Group, the successor to MCA). In the United Kingdom, records on the Shelter label were distributed by Island Records in the late 1970s.
