I understand that I can opt-out at any time by emailing privacypolicy wmg. For 75 years, Atlantic Records has been home to an array of artists and landmark albums. It is one of the most influential labels in history. A certain snobbery surrounds record companies: the story goes that small is creative and big kills creativity. But major labels have to be creative to thrive, otherwise they would always be outsmarted by younger, leaner companies able to react to every nuanced development in music.

Besides, most major record labels did not start out as highly monetised enterprises. At the very least, they began with a founder who was interested in music. And the best of them were launched by people obsessed by music, who prized it above all other forms of art. Their success is built on sound, not a fetish for dollars. And the greatest of these labels is Atlantic Records, which has enjoyed — yes, enjoyed — a year history of making hits from music its founding fathers loved and would continue to love, were they still around.

Great music? Atlantic made it. Atlantic got it. Atlantic gave it to the world.
