About New World Records
Anthology of Recorded Music, Inc. Was established in 1975 and releases music under the name New World Records. They are committed to recording American music that is primarily disregarded by the commercial recording industry. Similar to academic presses, New World Records fosters American music's creative future while preserving forgotten historical gems. Over 400 recordings have been produced, and over 700 American composers have been represented. In a sector where instant riches and million-unit sales are the only measures of success, they opt for creative merit. With a grant from the Rockefeller foundation, the firm was established with the goal of creating a 100-disc anthology of American music that would include the widest range of musical genres.
