EFA

Profile:
EFA stands for 'Energie Für Alle' (Energy For All) and was a distributor, not a real record label. It went bankrupt in spring 2004 and is now defunct.

Founded in 1982 as a distribution network for the independent label scene, EFA had started out in Germany but had a number of labels from other countries in their stable as well. The closest they came to release music on their own accord is through the e:motion sublabel, which was merely an advertisment platform, delivering an aural catalog of the dance/electronic music labels in form of a compilation once in a while.

DON'T ADD RELEASES HERE THAT WERE ONLY DISTRIBUTED BY EFA.
THE EFA CATALOG# MUST CURRENTLY BE RECORDED IN THE RELEASE NOTES.
