 | whitewhale1965 Let's make it Better! Member since Jun 2012 12546 Points | MODs - The US label One Little Indian is missing from this list accessed by clicking the label on this page. But shows up on this search. It looks like an error of omission to me and so I bring it to your attention. |

 | Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2283 Points | I thought One Little Indian would be considered a UK independent label i.e. Rough Trade, Creation and Domino and therefore all releases be UK and none EU due to its status as an independent label. This should apply regardless of place of manufacture. The global nature of "so called" independent labels is also of concern with many like One Little Indian have branches in the USA or even further afield. The best example would be XL which while a UK independent label it has a truly global distribution network that delivers products with same label, cat# and barcode throughout the world. They are in fact more international than the majors as are all the sub-labels within the XL cartel (which includes Third Man, Mute, 4AD et al). I have bought UK/EU made product from Domino's outlet in California which makes for some tricky decisions when entering such items. As I say the independents are more international than the majors. The Dutch based Disky label could be considered a pioneer in in this field as they managed to get their product in shops all over the globe while remaining an independent label. One Little Indian is a tricky one though mainly due to the split global rights of Chris Blackwell's (does he still own it?) Island label and the involvement Polydor for certain parts of the world. Now let's get onto UMG and the Parlophone catalogue. Well, no let's not but the same thing applies but just with a certain band that has different treatment to rest of the catalogue. |

 | carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1712 Points Moderator | Its tricky because most indie labels like these are just subsideries of larger companies thats how they get their products out internationally. The other thing to consider is that there was for all intents and purpose only 1 major record pressing plant in the whole of Europe (Czech?) for quite a few years, however I think that firm opened another factory in Germany recently (not sure). The thing is the origin of manufacturing hasnt mattered for about 30 years, its the final destination of the production that counts. |

Member since Jun 2014 3773 Points Moderator | While this label has been raised, did I hear somewhere that Bjork & co. have changed the name of this label, in keeping with current issues in the news? (If so...anything been released yet under new name?) |

| Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2283 Points | You're right as usual Magic! As of June 2020 the label is now called "One Little Independent Records" due to the fact that word "Indian" is offensive. I find it offensive that these "so called" independent labels are in fact just a small boutique hidden away in the dark corners of the global music super stores owned and operated by the major music corporations. They are nothing without the distribution and sales networks of the majors. So, I propose we refrain from calling labels such as this independent labels as this is in fact the opposite of what they really are. Perhaps we could change their moniker to "reliant labels", "interdependent labels" or my favourite in the new name stakes "enslaved labels". You might think that this is political correctness gone too far but these independents have been hiding behind the skirts and up the sleeves of the majors all along and I feel duped. A realistic re-branding would put an end to their false and misleading claims of independence. Edited by Lee Wrecker on 11th Oct 2020, 9:18 AM |
