Studio: Atlantic Studios, New York City

Atlantic Studios

For the similarly named studio NOT AFFILIATED with Atlantic Records or WEA, please see Atlantic Sound Studios.

Recording and mastering studio of Atlantic Records. Founded in New York City in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson.

Also credited as :
- Atlantic Recording Studios, New York City
- Atlantic Recording Studio
- Atlantic Sound Studios
- Atlantic Studios, N.Y.C.

Identifiable mastering scribings in runouts include "AT" or "@t" or similar, or stamped "ATLANTIC STUDIOS D.K.", "ATLANTIC STUDIOS DK" or "T/DK".
Please use "Lacquer Cut At" for LCCN crediting.

An independent company, Atlantic gained a reputation for being honest, and their business practices allowed them to hire the best musicians in the business. When it was industry practice to pay royalties below 2 percent, or in the case of minority performers, no royalties at all, Atlantic was paying 3 to 5 percent. Specializing in rhythm & blues, jazz and soul, Atlantic also recorded rock & roll, blues, country and western, gospel and comedy. From early on in their history, Atlantic was a major player among American record companies.
In 1967 they were purchased by [l102249], and today is part of the [l2345].

The letters 'W', 'X' or 'Z' etched in many runouts were quality control codes used by Atlantic to tell engineers what brand of lacquer blank had been used to master / cut the record.
- W: Audiodisc
- X: Transco
- Z: Soundcraft.
