Atlantic is a renowned US record label that was founded in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun, Herb Abramson, and Miriam Abramson. Over the years, it has grown into one of the leading companies in the music industry, known for its commitment to artistry and quality. In 1967, Atlantic was purchased by Warner Bros. film studio and operated alongside ATCO Records as separate entities. The label continued to expand its influence when it acquired Elektra in 1970, forming the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic alliance.
Today, Atlantic remains a part of the Warner Music Group and forms the Atlantic Music Group along with Elektra, Rhino Records (2), Lava, and EastWest Records America. The label's iconic Saul Bass designed W logo was introduced in 1975. With a rich history spanning decades and an impressive roster of artists, Atlantic continues to be a powerhouse in the music industry.
Please note that some releases may have different catalog numbers or codes on their sleeves or labels which are not part of the official catalog number. Additionally, early releases had yellow labels until January 1956 when they switched to red labels. French singles and EPs also have distinct catalog number patterns based on genre.

It is not easy being a best kept secret, especially for an artist who has so much to say. It has to be just as hard when one of hip-hop's greatest and most respected mc's tells one of the most powerful record executives in the world that the talents of the person he's representing are similar to his own five years ago. That's exactly what rap legend and current president of Def Jam Records, Jay-Z, told then Arista records CEO L.A. Reid in a meeting back in 2002 about hot newcomer - Lupe Fiasco. The 23 year-old Chicago native, who has been highly regarded and coveted by many top-level executives and industry insiders for the past three years, has remained relatively unknown in the public eye. until now! with the release of his atlantic records debut, Food and Liquor,&nbsp;Lupe Fiasco is sure to take the entire music industry by storm. Laced with 14-tracks of complex, thought-provoking and playful lyricism coupled with sure-fire beats, Food and Liquor features production by the likes of Nottz, Needles, the Buchanans, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, not to mention 1st and 15th producers Soundtrakk and pro. guest artists include, amongst others, Jay-Z, Jill Scott and Gemini.
