GUEST,warren fahey Rounder Records has been sold to Concord (52* d) RE: Rounder Records has been sold to Concord 10 May 11


I was Rounder's Australian and NZ distribution partner for around 25 years and I witnessed the label grow from 5 LP records to the amazingly diverse catalogue it now claims. I have also witnessed dramatic changes in the industry and most of the comments here are not representing reality. If Bill, Ken and Marion are still involved to any degree they will retain the label's ethical approach to important music - and I don't mean Mary Chapin Carpenter and Robert Plant. Concord also has a history (I also distributed Concord, Fanatsy and Prestige when I sold Larrikin to Festival Records). Times have changed and the CD is near dead. Digital availability will make MORE obscure (and important) music available. You'll see! By the way, I know it's probably documented somewhere else in the forums but the new biography on Alan Lomax is a MUST read for anyone interested in traditional music and the history of minority music making in the weird world we live in. www.warrenfahey.com
