This is my research into what record label would support our music video production based on previous acts.

1. Record Label Research
What record label would our music
video be released under…

2. 4AD Records
• 4AD records is an British independent record
label formed by parent company ‘Beggars
Group’.
• Launched in 1979, it now constitutes a
majority of activity to Beggars Group along
with ‘Matador Records’ and ‘Rough Trade’.

3. Why 4AD Records?
• 4AD Records would be a suitable record label for our
music video to be associated with as this is the genuine
label that issued The Pixies’ debut album “Surfa Rosa”,
featuring the hit track ‘Where Is My Mind?’.
• The label also works with many artists sharing the indie
rock genre, with bands such as:
- Bon Iver
- Beirut
- Iron & Wine

4. Elektra Records
• Elektra Records emerged into the world in the
1950’s focusing mainly on folk music. As the
1960’s drew in, they widened their audience
by including psychedelic and blues recordings.
• Today, the company spans worldwide into
nearly all genres in association with Atlantic
Distribution and parent company ‘Warner
Bros’.

5. Why Elekra Records?
• Although 4AD is an independent label true to its
roots, it doesn’t offer the worldwide appeal that
some artists desire. Elektra Records would be a
suitable company to support our video as not
only has it got a history with recording with the
Pixies, but it also has a huge variety of acts under
its name associated with the Pixies, such as:
- The Cure
- Television
- The Stooges
