This chapter provides an overview of record labels and their significance, history, and role in the music industry. It also explores the different types of record labels and their role in the industry. Record labels are companies that invest in and support music recording, production, and distribution. They play a crucial role in the music industry, acting as intermediaries between artists and the public. Record labels have a long history, dating back to the early 20th Century when recorded music became widely available.
