Asylum

Asylum is a US label that was formed in 1971 by David Geffen and Eliot Roberts. Initially specializing in mainstream rock and singer/songwriters, the label signed notable artists such as Judee Sill, David Blue, Jackson Browne, and Jo Jo Gunne. In 1974, Asylum scored a major coup by signing Bob Dylan during his brief estrangement from Columbia Records. Throughout the 1970s, the label released albums by influential artists like Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, as well as former members of Eagles, Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield.

From 1971 to 1973, Asylum was distributed by Atlantic Records. However, in August 1973, Warner Communications combined Elektra and Asylum Records to form Elektra/Asylum Records. Geffen left the label in 1980 to establish Geffen Records. Although the Asylum name was retired from new releases in 1989, it made occasional appearances for country releases in 1992.

In 2004, after Warner Music's acquisition by private investors led by Edgar Bronfman Jr., Asylum was reactivated as a southern-oriented hip-hop label. It also became the distributor for Rap-A-Lot Records and Swisha House Records. Despite being considered an independent label within Warner Music structure today; its numbering system and UPC prefix align with Elektra Records.

'Plus' is the hugely anticipated debut album by Ed Sheeran via Asylum records. Ed Sheeran's 'Plus' is timeless song-writing informed as much by Jay Z and Eminem as by Bob Dylan and Damien Rice. The flame-haired 20-year-old's lyrics talk about the city he loves and the people in it, the people made by it, and those damaged by it. They also talk of love and of loss. Ed's talent is evidenced on songs like 'Small Bump' - a true story with a heart-wrenching twist about a friend and her baby, whereas 'Drunk' "i wanna be drunk when i wake up, on the right side of the wrong bed" tackles an altogether different subject. 'Wake Me Up' is tender 'then you' lie with me, til i fall asleep and flutter eyelash on my cheek, between the sheets' and was written when heavily intoxicated. The autographical, show stopper 'You Need Me, i don't need you' includes "i've done around about a thousand shows, but i haven't got a house plus i live on a couch, so you believe the lyrics when i'm singing them out". Aged 16, Ed arrived in London from Suffolk with one thing on his mind: playing gigs, as many as he could and as often as he could. Selling cd's out of his rucksack he supported himself and gathered fans one at a time. Over 5 self-made, and self-released eps ed demonstrated his talent and breadth. Written and recorded between shows over several years, largely in a home-studio just outside london with collaborator Jake Gosling is the next exciting stage in Ed's do-it-yourself career.CD+ - Deluxe version with four bonus tracks.CD - Standard version with 12 Tracks.
