message: I'm intrigued by the mention of Open Source record labels at the end. The link only goes to the usual Open Source article though, which I'm pretty sure doesn't feature anything about the record label aspect (I shall be having a look after I write this though). If it is on there then perhaps it should be put on its own page - Open Source record label rather than Open Source? If it isn't on the general open source article then same principle - I'm not even sure how that would work - presumably the songs are freely downloadable, but do they make the tracks used to compose the songs available as well? sheridan 07:46, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
:Had a poke around, and open content seems to have more in common with what an open source record label would be. Have changed the link (though not the text of the article) accordingly sheridan 08:11, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
::Good call.  In fact, open content seems to be better text: open source may the the root of the open content movement, but source has inappropriate computer sciencey connotations here.  I made the change. ---- Charles Stewart 10:06, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

:The case isn't obvious to me.  Indepdence is a different issue to openness, and has a longer history.  It may be the case that the two topics would benefit from being described side-by-side, but you need to make the case, and I'm doubtful. ---- Charles Stewart 00:29, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: "Some music consumers have begun to actively boycott RIAA member labels by purchasing only music from independent artists"  There is no chance of finding a citation to support this - anyone can make a statement and preface it with the phrase "some people..."  Unfortunately, that sort of conjecture is rarely appropriate for encyclopedia articles.  I've removed it.Phil500 07:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a paragraph that starts "In the United Kingdom during the 1950s and 1960s" why is Island Records not mentioned as it was founded in 1959 as an small independent record label according the Wikipedia article. -- PBS (talk) 19:51, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Island Records was set up in Jamaica and in the early days the label had to licence their tracks to UK labels like Fontana (like, for example, with the first Island 'megahit', which was "My Boy Lollipop" by Millie in 1964). Even before independence Jamaica wouldn't have made up part of the UK even though it was a British overseas place like if the label had been set up in Gibraltar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.173.247 (talk) 12:57, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

message: I have removed  The Rocket Record Company from the paragraph that starts "In the United Kingdom during the 1950s and 1960s". As the article states "The Rocket Record Company was a record label founded ... in 1973".  -- PBS (talk) 19:51, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably because it was founded before the notion of 'indie' was dreamt up...with it, Chrysalis and A&M being seen as Major-Minors in the late 1980s/early 1990s (i.e. before they were bought by bigger 'Major' record companies)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.172.230 (talk) 20:57, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Is Adele seen as having the best selling independent record of all time? Adele's records were from XL Recordings (Beggars Group) in the UK but were licensed to majors around the world (which is like Happy Mondays, Depeche Mode, New Order etc were in the 1980s/1990s)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.173.247 (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

message: I have kept Eleven Seven in the list of independent record labels even though the article of the Eleven Seven Label Group states that the parent may have been originally Sony Music Entertainment, please can somebody look into this fact to make sure they were an indie and it was only a label/distribution deal with a major.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.238.174 (talk) 15:44, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
