record labels: then and now

September 28th, 2005 | Filed under: music, random

Music industry pundit Bob Lefsetz sums up the changed role of record labels very well in this recent posting at Rhino Records’ site:

Used to be the label was a midwife, aiding the band in birthing their baby, and bringing it into the world. Today the label is a dictator, exacting conformity and killing art.

Well said, Bob - well said.
