Extreme Music (production music holding company)
~ Label
Annotation
This is the worldwide production music division of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. It serves as a holding company for a large number of imprints.
They have begun selling some of their imprints' albums as publicly available digital downloads, though these include only the full versions of the tracks. Only those digital releases listing "Extreme Music" as the label should be listed here. No other releases should be assigned to this holding company label.
It is easy to identify which imprint released a release simply by looking at the first few letters of the catalogue number, which is known in the production music industry as the prefix number.
NOTE: There currently is a bogus artist which needs cleanup named Extreme Music.
