Important Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Important Records is a record label that was created in 2001 after the management collapse of a popular North East record shop. An online store and record label was launched simultaneously with the release of Daniel Johnston's 'Impossible Love 7"' and Merzbow's album 'Amlux.'
Since its inception Important has flourished with a highly active release schedule, a roster of new and established artists and a broad output of modern sounds. In 2006 Important celebrated its 5th anniversary and 100th release with IMPREC100, a collection of tracks from some of the first 100 releases.
