Purpose of EastWest
Why did Atlantic originally form the label? We know that, at that time (1955) Atlantic published/distributed Jazz, Blues, and R&B/Soul. What formats/genres were intended for EastWest?
The Kingsmen were not Jazz/Blues/R&B/Soul, so I assume EastWest was set up for Rock. But the restarting of the label in the 1990s indicate an interest in R&B/Soul and Hip-Hop with divergences like Pantera and AC/DC. So, how does EastWest of the 1990s compare to Atlantic of the 1990s? Why bring the label out of hibernation?
I already know the answer is because Atlantic had transitioned heavily into Rock & Roll after it's acquisition by Warner Music Group in 1967, but that isn't relflected in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.156 (talk) 22:18, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
