American Recordings

Profile:
US label.
Label Code: LC 7181/ LC 07181
Originally founded as Def American Recordings in 1988 by Rick Rubin as a label for hip-hop and metal acts, although it has a very eclectic range. In 1993, it was renamed American Recordings. It has gone through many distributors since its founding, including Warner Bros. Records, BMG (Europe), Island Def Jam Music Group and now Sony Music Entertainment since Rick Rubin was hired as co-president of Sony Music's Columbia Records in 2007. In 2012, Rick Rubin, upon his exit from Sony Music Entertainment, signed a new deal with Universal Republic Records (Universal Republic later changed its name to Republic Records) for a new incarnation of American. The first albums to be released under this new deal were ZZ Top's La Futura and The Avett Brothers' The Carpenter

If this label was founded in 1988 then at least 8 releases are linked to the wrong label (1978-1987 releases)
