37 years of jazz history. The Zurich label Intakt Records reflects musical and social developments and presents counter-worlds. As early as the 1980s, female jazz musicians brought their feminist protest to the stage. Louis Moholo and Irene Schweizer played drums and piano for the liberation of South Africa. Patrik Landolt, the founder of Intakt Records, visited pianist Cecil Taylor and guitarist Elliott Sharp in New York, when the Twin Towers were attacked. His chronicle of music production describes the adventures of Intakt Records, tells of the stubborn struggle for the survival of a creative minority culture and also of the luck of being out in the open with this music. A new generation has been running the jazz label since 2022. In this English translation, Florian Keller from the Intakt team adds an epilogue to the chronicle.

A chance remark on the stairs at Peter Morris Music in Londons Denmark Street, in October 1963, set off a chain reaction that helped Brian Epstein apply some much-needed leverage on Americas Hollywood-based Capitol label.Although February 1963 marked the Beatles breakthrough in Britain, by the closing months of that year they still had not conquered the United States. Their manager Brian Epstein had been fighting what seemed like a losing battle to persuade Capitol to release the bands records in America. Indeed, when the Beatles eventually hit the big time in the United States in February 1964, both Epstein and Capitol executives obscured the truth behind it.What is the story behind this essential step in the Beatles meteoric rise to worldwide fame? In Capitol Gains, historian Andrew Cook uses corporate and personal archives to reveal the reality behind this and much more, lifting the lid on Capitols unfavourable view of the British record industry and how they set out to remix UK master tapes and create distinct US albums. It shows how, while Capitols strategy made the Beatles rich beyond their wildest dreams, Epstein often struggled to balance Capitols commercial decisions against the Beatles own demands, and explores the efforts made to protect the Beatles image as they were caught up in the whirlwind of global success.

Definitive and comprehensive, this is the actual story of Factory RecordsPeter SavilleIn 1978, a Factory for Sale sign gave Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson a name for their fledgling Manchester club night. Though they couldn t have known it at the time, this was the launch of one of the most significant musical and cultural legacies of the late twentieth century. The clubs electrifying live scene soon translated to vinyl, and Factory Records went on to become the most innovative and celebrated record label of the next thirty years.Always breaking new musical ground, Factory introduced the listening public to bands such as Joy Division, whose Unknown Pleasures was the labels first album release, New Order, Durutti Column and Happy Mondays. Propelled onwards by the inspirational cultural entrepreneur, Tony Wilson, Factory always sought new ways to energise the popular consciousness, such as the infamous Hacienda nightclub, which enjoyed a chequered 15-year history after opening in 1982.Now fully revised and expanded with a new chapter, Shadowplayers is the most complete, authoritative and thoroughly researched account of how a group of provincial anarchists and entrepreneurs saw off bankers, journalists and gun-toting gangsters to create the most influential record label of modern times. Based on both archive and contemporary sources, the book tells the full story of Factory s heroic struggles, its complex web of inventive, idiosyncratic and tragic personalities, and ultimately, the acclaimed and much-loved music it produced.
