Record Label
WEA is an acronym for Warner Elektra Atlantic. The acronym was introduced in early 1972 when [[label:Warner Communications]]' international music division [[label:640338]] was renamed [[label:1255]]. All subsidiary companies outside the US eventually changed their names accordingly - compare for example [[label:303518]] and [[label:43315]], [[label:266134]] and [[label:264092]], or [[label:277851]] and [[label:43012]]. As a label, WEA was introduced in some markets in the late 1970s. Please use this entry only if the displayed label is WEA or if a role is credited to WEA only. Use "[[label:38030]]" or "[[label:29130]]" or [[label:32412]] if specified by the logo or the different companies when credited as such. For unofficial releases pretending to be on the WEA label, use [[label:256207]].
