Priest of Syrinx Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Actually, it's Warner Music Group, not Warner Bros. The two companies are completely separate entities. Edited April 27, 2012 by Priest of Syrinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere. Anthem is it's own seperate entity whooly owned by it's partners. Anthem is the bands Canadian record label and they handle their own distribution/promotion. I mentioned this in one of the other threads but people need to understand this process has been in the works since '06 when WMG bought some 73% of RR stock.. the deal finalized in '10 when they bought the remaining stock. It's not like RUSH was unaware of this... not to mention RUSH has been part of WMG since Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many major labels are there now, two? Three? This is why so many artists now have their own imprints and do a lot of the distribution themselves.

BigBob Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Rush could add more cartoony tunes to their instrumentals, kind of like Powerhouse in La Villa Strangiatto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like RUSH was unaware of this... not to mention RUSH has been part of WMG since Presto. So, in essence, they have already owned it for 6 years. Owning more than 50% of a company gives de facto control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. And it's been so for awhile. When I was a buyer for Tower records, we had these major distributors: Capitol, Columbia/CBS, WEA and Polygram. Most labels were a subsidiary of one of these groups. I did see more small labels but only because I was the Shows/Soundtracks buyer. I like that artists have their own labels. Probably makes it harder for the current crop of record store buyers, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
