Nonesuch is a US record label that was created in 1964 as a budget label for classical releases. It eventually expanded to include adventurous music from around the globe and world-premiere recordings of contemporary composers. Nonesuch has gone through various ownership changes over the years, including being acquired by Warner Communications in 1970 and becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records in 2004.

Under the leadership of Jac Holzman, Nonesuch was established as a budget label for classical releases licensed from large record companies in Britain and France. Designed by Bill Harvey, the packaging emphasized affordability with releases marketed as "Recordings at the Price of a Quality Paperback."

In 1970, Nonesuch became part of Warner Communications (Kinney/WEA) and continued to release music under its own name along with other Elektra-based labels like Elektra and Asylum Records. The merger between Elektra and Atlantic labels in 2004 resulted in Nonesuch becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records within the Warner Music Group.

just in time for the 2012 presidential contest, ry cooder drops 'election special', the follow-up to the topical and thematic 'pull up some dust and sit down'. like virtually all of his records in the 21st century, cooder's album is full of folk, blues, and roots songs that are unapologetically political in nature. he plays everything but drums, and wrote or co-wrote the tunes. rather than use metaphors, cooder takes direct - often humorous - aim at the objects of ire this time out: super pacs, multi billionaire conservative activist brothers charles and david koch, and candidate mitt romney - also a billionaire.
