[edit] Attributes

name (optional, default as per page name). Specifies label name in box title and when referring to its official site.
image_bg (optional, default: white). Can be used to specify background to display image against. All CSS color specifiers may be used. However, it is generally recommended to leave it unspecified, so it will remain white as default.
founded (required). Foundation year, just 4 digits, without any links. It would appear as "that year in music".
url (optional). Specifies official site of record label. Note that there should be no wiki-formatting of link, just plain URL.
