Domino RecordsDomino Records has been the name of three different record labels, two United States based labels from the first third of the 20th century, and a late 20th century and 21st century label based in the United Kingdom. First U.S. label The first U.S. Domino Records debuted in 1917 and went out of business later that same year. They produced 7-inch vertical-cut disc records. Second U.S. label The second, better known, Domino Records was in business from 1924 to 1933, producing standard 10-inch lateral cut 78s. The label was a subsidiary of Plaza Music, headquartered in New York City. U.K. label Domino records is an independent record label based in the United Kingdom founded in 1993. Its output consists mostly of various types of indie and alternative rock though the catalogue is much more eclectic than that would suggest. Alongside releases by established bands such as Pavement and Royal Trux, the label has also released recordings by alt country singer/songwriter Will Oldham and leftfield artists Max Tundra, Hood and Four Tet. In 2004, Domino records released the critically acclaimed debut by Scottish art punks Franz Ferdinand. The record spawned several hit singles and sold very well, a level of commercial success rarely experienced by a British indie label. See also External Links Domino Records
