'''Cooking Vinyl''' is a UK-based independent record company,<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.musicweek.com/businessanalysis/read/25-years-of-cooking-vinyl/|title=25 years of Cooking Vinyl |publisher=[[Music Week]]|date=2011-05-12|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref> founded in 1986 by former manager and booking agent [[Martin Goldschmidt]] and business partner [[Pete Lawrence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/label-profiles-four-independents-under-the-spotlight-8712226.html|title=Label profiles: Four independents under the spotlight|date=2006-05-23|publisher=[[The Independent]]|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref> Goldschmidt remains the current owner and managing director. The company is based in [[Acton, London]].

Established in 1986, Cooking Vinyl has developed a reputation as one of Europe's most innovative independent labels, inspiring an enviable loyalty among its artist roster in the process. Key to the company's longevity is its emphasis on artist-driven deals with its pioneering introduction of bespoke services-only contracts that claim no stake in artists' copyrights. The first such deal drawn up in 1993 with [[Billy Bragg]] who has since re-signed to the label a total of seven times.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.pias.com/blog/pure-gold-martin-goldschmidt-cooking-vinyls-unplanned-success/|title=Pure Gold: Martin Goldschmidt on Cooking Vinyl’s unplanned success - [PIAS]|date=2015-10-28|newspaper=[PIAS]|language=en-US|access-date=2017-02-03}}</ref> Many other acts return year after year, release after release, including [[Pixies]]' Charles Thompson (AKA [[Black Francis|Frank Black]]) with 18 releases to date with the label, and starting in 1994 Cooking Vinyl released 23 albums by the former [[Doll by Doll|Doll By Doll]] man, the late (and great) [[Jackie Leven]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://cookingvinyl.com/about/|title=About Cooking Vinyl - UK based Independent Record Label|newspaper=Cooking Vinyl|language=en-US|access-date=2017-02-03}}</ref>

==History==

===Formation===
Cooking Vinyl was set up in 1986 by former manager and booking agent [[Martin Goldschmidt]] and distribution manager Pete Lawrence, who initially ran the business as a part-time venture out of a spare room in Goldschmidt's council house in Stockwell, South London.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=http://cookingvinyl.com/about/|title=Cooking Vinyl - About|date=2014-06-06|publisher=Cooking Vinyl|accessdate=2014-06-06}}</ref>

===1986–1993===
In 1986 Cooking Vinyl famously recorded an impromptu live performance around a campfire at a folk festival by the singer [[Michelle Shocked]], on a Sony [[Walkman]] with fading batteries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/03/big-chills-pete-lawrence-and-unbound-crowdfund-alfresco-festival-with-book-release.html|title=New Take On Music Crowdfunding From Cooking Vinyl's Pete Lawrence & Book Publisher Unbound|publisher=Hypebot.com|date=2012-03-29|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref> One of its first releases, Cooking Vinyl released the recording as The Campfire Tapes, and it sold 250,000 copies worldwide.<ref name="auto"/>

Originally orientated towards contemporary folk music with bands such as Oysterband, Cowboy Junkies and Jackie Leven, Cooking Vinyl Records has grown and diversified into releasing rock, metal, indie, punk and electronica.

===1993: Artist services deals===
As well as its more traditional royalty agreements, Cooking Vinyl is widely regarded as a pioneer of ‘artist services’ deals where the artist retains ownership of the copyrights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.themusicnetwork.com/hot-seat-martin-goldschmidt-founder-cooking-vinyl/|title=Hot Seat: Martin Goldschmidt – Founder, Cooking Vinyl|publisher=[[The Music Network]]|date=2013-12-06|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref> The company’s first such deal came in 1993 with a reissue of [[Billy Bragg]]'s ''[[Back to Basics (Billy Bragg album)|Back To Basics]]'' compilation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/festival-of-business/9075644/Why-music-is-still-good-business.html|title=Why music is still good business|publisher=[[Telegraph Media Group|The Telegraph]]|date=2012-02-11|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref> Since then, Bragg has re-signed to Cooking Vinyl a total of six times, most recently in 2013 for the release of studio album ''[[Tooth & Nail (Billy Bragg album)|Tooth And Nail]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/billy-bragg-re-signs-with-cooking-vinyl/053181|title=Billy Bragg re-signs with Cooking Vinyl|publisher=[[Music Week]]|date=2013-01-16|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref>

Cooking Vinyl has also delivered services deals for Alison Moyet, Black Spiders, Gary Numan, James Skelly & The Intenders, Madness, Pigeon Detectives, Reverend and The Makers, Ron Sexsmith, and The View.<ref>{{citation |title=Label Services Report|date=2013-04-18|publisher=[[Music Week]]|page=13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockol.com/uk/news-499691/cooking-vinyl-cuts-deals-with-ub40s-ali-campbell-seth-lakeman|title=Cooking Vinyl's Martin Goldschmidt On Universal-EMI Deal, Marilyn Manson, the Rise of Indies|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=2013-05-16|accessdate=2014-05-16}}</ref>

===Digital era===
Cooking Vinyl has consistently been in the forefront of the digital revolution. It was the first European label to do a deal with the MP3 download site eMusic and the first to enter negotiations with the peer to peer file-sharing company Kazaa.<ref name="auto1"/> In 2005 Cooking Vinyl set up its own online distribution company, Uploader, which was sold in 2007 to the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA), one of the best online distributors in the world.,<ref name="auto1"/> who were in turn bought by ''[[The Orchard (company)|The Orchard]]''.

===Commercial success===
Cooking Vinyl has had international success from the start with Michelle Shocked The Texas Campfire Tapes selling 250,000 worldwide.<ref name="auto"/> Other notable releases include the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions and Ryan Adams debut solo studio album Heartbreaker in 2000, which sold 100,000 in the UK alone.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 2009, Cooking Vinyl partnered on the release of The Prodigy's fifth studio album ''[[Invaders Must Die]]'', which went on to sell 1.2 million units worldwide and was the biggest-selling independent record of the year in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/indies/1097203/cooking-vinyls-martin-goldschmidt-on-universal-emi-deal-marilyn|title=Cooking Vinyl cuts deals with UB40’s Ali Campbell, Seth Lakeman|publisher=Rockol.com|date=2012-05-03|accessdate=2014-04-07}}</ref>

In 2012, [[Amanda Palmer]], an advocate of the DIY approach,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.completemusicupdate.com/article/palmer-to-work-with-cooking-vinyl-on-kickstarted-album-release/|title=Palmer to work with Cooking Vinyl on kickstarted album release|publisher=[[Complete Music Update]]|date=2012-06-21|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref> announced that she was partnering with Cooking Vinyl in a distribution and label services deal for the European release of her studio album ''[[Theatre Is Evil]]''. The album was funded through a high-profile Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1.2 million in 30 days.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/indies/1093012/amanda-palmer-partners-with-uk-indie-cooking-vinyl-for-european|title=Amanda Palmer Partners With U.K. Indie Cooking Vinyl For European Album Release|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=2012-06-21|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref>

Another notable campaign from that year was the release of [[Marilyn Manson]]’s ''[[Born Villain]]'' under a joint-venture partnership between Manson's own label Hell, etc. and Cooking Vinyl.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/951479/marilyn-manson-plots-2011-comeback-with-indie-label|title=Marilyn Manson Plots 2011 Comeback with Indie Label|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=2010-11-08|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref> The album was a global success charting at #5 in Germany, #10 in the US, and topping Billboard's Hard Rock and Independent album chart. Across the rest of Europe the album peaked at #4 in Austria, #6 in France and #2 in Switzerland. In the UK Manson reached #14 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/cooking-vinyl-toasts-global-marilyn-manson-success/048941|title=Cooking Vinyl toasts global Marilyn Manson success|publisher=[[Music Week]]|date=2012-05-18|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref> in the Official Albums Chart and #1 in the UK Rock Albums Chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/11/2012-05-12/|title=2012 Top 40 Rock & Metal Albums Archive 12th May 2012|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]|date=2012-05-12|accessdate=2014-05-09}}</ref>

Cooking Vinyl enjoyed continued success in 2014 with the return of [[Embrace (English band)|Embrace]] and their self-titled album debuting at #5<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/15415/embrace/|title=EMBRACE {{!}} full Official Chart History {{!}} Official Charts Company|website=www.officialcharts.com|access-date=2017-01-13}}</ref> and New York rockers [[The Pretty Reckless]] reaching #8<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/6259/pretty-reckless/|title=PRETTY RECKLESS {{!}} full Official Chart History {{!}} Official Charts Company|website=www.officialcharts.com|access-date=2017-01-13}}</ref>  with their second studio album.

In 2015 Cooking Vinyl topped the charts again with [[The Prodigy]]’s number 1<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-prodigy-score-sixth-number-1-album-with-the-day-in-my-enemy__8852/|title=The Prodigy score sixth Number 1 album|access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> album ''[[The Day Is My Enemy]]'', which was certified gold in the UK and in 2016 [[Passenger (singer)|Passenger]] claimed the Official UK No.1 Album<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/passenger-pips-bruce-springsteen-to-score-his-first-number-1-album-this-is-so-unbelievably-exciting-__16499/|title=Passenger scores first UK Number 1 album: "This is so unbelievably exciting!!"|access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> with ''[[Young as the Morning, Old as the Sea|Young As The Morning, Old As The Sea]]''.
