{"id":1226,"count":1,"description":"<strong>Label Code: LC 0286 \/ LC 00286<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nUS record label that is the trading name of [l=Nonesuch Records] \/ [l=Nonesuch Records Inc.] Releases with either \"Nonesuch\" or \"Nonesuch Records\" logos should use this label. Company credits as on release.\r\n\r\nReferences to [l=Nonesuch Records Inc.] are the company identity and not the label. \r\n\r\n[l=Elektra] indicates that Elektra Records was founded in 1950 by Jac Holzman. Under his leadership, Nonesuch was created in 1964 as a budget label for classical releases licensed from large classical record companies in Britain and France that did not have a cost-effective means to directly distribute their releases in North America. [url=\/artist\/681789]Bill Harvey[\/url] designed the packaging, and releases were marketed as \"Recordings at the Price of a Quality Paperback.\" Nonesuch eventually hosted a large catalog of adventurous music from around the globe, and world-premiere recordings of contemporary composers of avant-garde, electronic and computer music.\r\n\r\n[l=Warner Communications Inc.] provides the most coherent summary of ownership and identity changes from 1969 onward.  As a division of Elektra, Nonesuch was also acquired by Warner Communications (Kinney\/WEA at the time) in 1970.  Releases from Elektra-based labels like Elektra, Nonesuch, and Asylum Records will usually state this affiliation as \"A Division Of Warner Communications Inc.\" ([l552180]).\r\n\r\n[l=Elektra\/Asylum Records] states that the Elektra and Asylum Records labels were combined in August 1973 to form label identities [l=Elektra\/Asylum Records] and [l=Elektra\/Asylum\/Nonesuch Records].\r\n\r\nThe identity [l=Elektra Nonesuch] was used for some releases from 1987 to 1995. Catalog entries for \"Nonesuch\" or \"Nonesuch Records\"  continue through this period as well.\r\n\r\nIn 1994, [l=Warner Music International] became its parent label and later switched to [l=Atlantic] approximately 2001 to 2004.\r\n\r\nA further merger of the Elektra and Atlantic labels took place in mid 2004. Thereafter, Nonesuch has been identified as a sub-label of [l=Warner Bros. Records] within the [l=Warner Music Group], continuing to use the established Elektra UPC prefix and numbering system.","link":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/sello\/nonesuch\/","name":"Nonesuch","slug":"nonesuch","taxonomy":"sello","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sello\/1226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sello"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/sello"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?sello=1226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
