The term 'record label' comes from the round sticker label which was placed on vinyl records, which show who the manufacturer was of that particular song.
Increasingly, recording artist have often put it upon their labels to broaden their fan base, nationally and internationally. In addition to this they also promote their material through different mediums such as radio, music channels and TV appearances. In recent times, the Internet have now been used as a tool to promote music and videos without the help of record label, reduce their costs and independently find their own audiences.
In opposition to major labels it is common to get small, local or independent label. These are often abbreviated to make the term 'indie', this was later used to describe the music that was associated with these labels.
Sometimes people can confuse labels with imprint. An imprint is when a label is associated with a brand or custom, but however is not a company. The imprint however has no business like or legal effect. sometimes rather than use the term imprint they use sub label.
