Is an imprint record label is the same thing for independent record label 🏷 because according to Wikipedia this is what an imprint record label was that A label used as a trademark or brand and not a company is called an imprint, a term used for the same concept in publishing. An imprint is sometimes marketed as being a "project", "unit", or "division" of a record label, even though there is no legal business structure associated with the imprint. A record company may use an imprint to market a particular genre of music, such as jazz, blues, country music, or indie rock. my question is that is an independent record label and imprint record label the same or are they both different from each other?
