RankStranger Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 You’ll have the whole back catalogue of a particular record label dropped at your doorstep in your format of choice and it’s all you’re allowed to listen to for one year. Which label do you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RankStranger Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 It’s really just a stupid hypothetical premise for me to find out about some new music. I’m going to go with ECM and hope I don’t have to host any parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHH Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Unhelpful but ECM also. (Edit: more helpfully, Warp as a second option.) Edited October 13, 2020 by LHH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal beat Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I would probably be found hanging from the rafters if one label was the choice. Especially if it was ECM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Old Man Rubber Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Atlantic - as long as the Stax/Volt stuff from the 1960s was still in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Aren't we down to three majors now? Any one of them will have more good music than you can poke a stick at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesbee Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It would be pretty hard to limit oneself to just one record label, and miss out on so much music. If you had asked this a few years ago, I might have said Compass Records, but I now already have a lot of music on that label. Maybe now I would choose World Music Network / Riverboat Records. I have a number of albums on that label, but there is a lot more there to be had. Then again, I wouldn't want to be excluded from Esoteric / Cherry Red and some of their excellent reissues of titles that have been unavailable for too long. Nope, too hard to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mike Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 For me it would have to be a label with huge output. First thought would be ECM due to the varied styles of the vast array of musicians who have called it home for a period. However, I could also keep myself well entertained with others such as Blue Note, Columbia and SoulNote/Black Saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
