The recording and mastering studio of Atlantic Records.
Founded in New York City, in 1947, by Ahmet Ertegun & Herb Abramson.
Identifiable mastering scribings in runouts include "AT" or "@t" or similar.
An independent company, Atlantic gained a reputation for being honest, & their business practices allowed them to hire the best musicians in the business. When it was industry practice to pay royalties below 2 percent, or in the case of minority performers, no royalties at all, Atlantic was paying 3 to 5 percent. Specializing in rhythm & blues, jazz, & soul, Atlantic also recorded rock & roll, blues, country & western, gospel, and comedy. From early on in their history, Atlantic was a major player among American record companies.
In 1967 they were purchased by Warner Bros. - Seven Arts Records, and today is part of the Warner Music Group
