Q&A: What is the difference between a Record Label and a Music Production Co.?

Question by -Me- A proud first time mommy!: What is the difference between a Record Label and a Music Production Co.?
Just tryind to establish some understanding on the difference…..sometime I think that they both make and produce music as well as the artist. What part does the label play verses the production?

Best answer:

Answer by shizzle
they can be the same thing…back in the old days, a record label financed and produced the music for artists. these days, many record labels serve as simply the financial aspect, while relying on music production companies to actually produce the music.
