A history of record labels
The evolution of record labels has been turbulent but astonishingly successful. The "acoustic" record labels of the 19th century were primarily responsible for the production and distribution of musical recordings. Small stores, specialized music halls, and other locations where recordings could be purchased and distributed were where many of these labels operated. These acoustic labels were renowned as purveyors of high-quality music because the majority of recordings at this time were dedicated to classical or operatic music. Unfortunately, the booming popular music scene of the early 20th century was not served by acoustic recording technology. The first major record label was established in 1910. Edward Easton and his family started Columbia Records, which quickly became the dominant record label. The first company to recognize the potential of mass-producing and marketing popular music recordings was Columbia. In the end, they had Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and a slew of other great artists in their catalog. More record labels emerged as the music business developed. Because they were able to connect with major recording studios and artists across the country, such as Bing Crosby and Al Jolson, RCA Victor and Brunswick were two of these labels that achieved the most success. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, a few smaller labels also emerged. Many of these focused on jazz music, and soon jazz labels like Bluebird, Decca, and Vocalion emerged as industry leaders. Many independent labels continued to exist throughout the 1940s, and their success paved the way for the rise of labels with exclusive contracts and distribution rights for specific genres of music. Genres like rock and roll and blues relied heavily on labels like King Records, Mercury Records, and Chess Records. A few major labels like Capitol, Elektra, and Atlantic began to dominate the industry in the 1950s and 1960s, while several smaller independent labels like Specialty Records, Hi Records, and A&M Records tried to stay competitive. Major labels like Universal, Sony BMG, and Warner Bros. dominate the music business today. These labels have funded, promoted, and distributed albums by chart-topping artists and bands to incredible levels of success. At the same time, a slew of independent record labels have emerged, enticing musicians who value artistic freedom. In order to distribute music, these labels frequently collaborate with digital services like Spotify and iTunes. As a result, they have enjoyed tremendous success. Record labels have had a long and adaptable history. The music industry as a whole has been responsible for bringing us the music we love, from the start-up labels of the 19th century to the major labels of today.
