Elektra (all releases with “Elektra” or “Elektra Entertainment” logo, 1950 to present)

~ Label

Annotation

releases between 1989–2009 bearing the lowercase “e” perched atop a tilted capital “E” logo should also be filed under this label (even if it may read "Elektra Entertainment" below the logo).

Digital releases that have Elektra (NEK) as a label should use this label.
