Compilation Records

A few days ago I got a compilation record by Ed Banger Records. It struck me how cool compilation records were and how long its been since I've listened to one.

Compilations give fans an overall perspective of what a label is all about. They give insight into a label's culture. They provide a spring board for more specific purchases. They allow a fan to sample a label's wares. And most importantly, they are a great representation of what a label believes in.

Our industry needs stuff that can help fans make a connection between the artist and the supporting label.
