ON THE BALL Before football fever took over the nation, Global took over Wembley Stadium with a plethora of punchy pop at Capital FM's Summertime Ball. Music Week spotted the likes of Global's Ashley Tabor, Paul Adam and Stephen Miron, ROAR's Jonathan Shalit, Jamie Redknapp, Universal's Hassan Choudhury and Atlantic's Max Lousada at the event – as well as Global Radio's Commercial MD Mike Gordon, snapped here chatting with Camillio Pane from Reckitt Benckiser.

A ‘LOAD OF QUESTIONS It's not just the bands at Download that cause a feeding frenzy amongst the press – its Live Nation organisers pull quite a crowd, too. Here's LN COO John Probyn and Download booker Andy Copping (replete in cowboy hat) fending off a grilling from the hacks… whilst making sure they finish up in time to catch those mega-headliners.

IN THE FRAME It’s not all number-crunching and serious copyright chat at the PPL AGM, you know. There's a spot of lunch, a bit of vino – and some important things in frames given to smiley people. We have some photographic evidence of the latter; (i) PPL’s Fran Nevrkla with September Management's Jonathan Dickins and XL’s Chris Bellam and (ii) Fran with guest speaker, IPO's John Alty.

FABLED LABELS

East West Records Founded 1955

Key Artists Snow, En Vogue, Simply Red, AC/DC, Dream Theater, Missy Elliot

Created by Atlantic Records, East West Records had an isolated hit with The Kingsmen before going into something of a hibernation period until 1990. It was then that Atlantic revamped its imprint as EastWest Records America, putting Atlantic senior VP Sylvia Rhone (left) at the helm as chairman and CEO. EastWest went on to see incredible success with multiplatinum albums from the likes of Simply Red

(Stars, pictured below, was released by the label), En Vogue, Snow, Yo-Yo, AC/DC, Dream Theater, Missy Elliott and more. It also distributed imprints including Interscope Records and The Goldmind Inc. EastWest merged with Atlantic sister label Atco Records in 1991 with the

combination briefly labeled Atco/Eastwest Records, although the Atco name was dropped in 1993. Rhone was appointed chairman and CEO of Elektra Records in 1994

and EastWest, along with most of its roster, broke from the Atlantic umbrella to go with her. The label was absorbed into Elektra around the millennium following budget cuts at Warner Music Group and further cuts after Time Warner’s sale of WMG saw Elektra absorbed into Atlantic. East West was, however, reactivated in 2005 as an in-house indie rock label, today operating under Warner’s Independent Label Group.

Did you know? After working for a Bankers Trust, Sylvia Rhone got her first job in the music industry as a secretary for Buddha Records in 1974.
