This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Philo Records''' was founded in 1973 by half-brothers Michael Couture and Bill Schubart<ref>((cite web|title=About the Author|url=http://schubart.com/author/|publisher=Bill Schubart|accessdate=3 August 2011|year=2011))</ref> to record and distribute [[Folk music|folk]] and [[traditional music]]. Over the course of its nine-year history, before its sale  to [[Rounder Records]] in 1982, Philo produced roughly 100 albums of folk, traditional, and later, [[jazz]], world, and new music from a converted barn-studio in [[North Ferrisburg, Vermont]]. Philo's allure to many established and emerging artists was its policy of giving them full control over their productions and repertoire.

==Early years==
Philo Records (as distinct from the Philo Records founded in [[California]] in 1945 by Eddie, Leo and Ira Messner, a jazz and R&B label) was founded in 1973 in a barn in North Ferrisburg, Vermont by half-brothers Bill Schubart and Michael Couture.<ref>((cite web|last=Regenstreif|first=Mike|title=History of Philo Records|url=http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=76773#1363673|publisher=Mudcat Café Music Foundation|accessdate=3 August 2011|date=22 December 2004))</ref> The two brothers shared a love of eclectic music and Couture was himself a performing musician, while Schubart had long dabbled in recording various folk and classical groups. Schubart bought a vacant dairy barn on eight acres in 1969 that had been recently used to raise pigs, steam-cleaned it and elicited the help of an architect friend, Arthur Norcross, to create a home [[recording studio]]. The studio opened as Earth Audio Techniques in 1972. Schubart and Couture founded Philo Records to produce and distribute some of the music they had recorded at Earth Audio.

The first two releases in 1973 were Philo 1000 The UVM Choral Union performing The Psalmody and Fuguing tunes of Justin Morgan (of Morgan Horse fame) and Philo 2000 Louis Beaudoin, the soon to become renowned French-Canadian fiddler. These two releases loosely defined the 1000 series of more popular releases and the 2000 series that was more strictly roots or traditional music. In 1979, the 9000 series was added to include jazz, world and new music releases.

Philo’s aesthetic hallmark was its artist-centered culture. The prevailing industry employment of sA&R (artists & repertoire) executives who choose material, hire arrangers and sidemen, and then oversee the production of market-ready music was never adopted at Philo. Schubart and Couture chose musicians, not for only their renown, but for their ability to perform live outside the studio. They often opted to record unknown artists whose work they respected and gave them full control over their own production and choice of sidemen. Their goal was to capture on LP the artist’s own vision of their music. There was no prescribed company vision. This, of course, cut both ways. The company produced a number of releases that received significant critical acclaim but sold only a few hundred copies. It also led to considerable success and the debut of a number of new faces in the folk, traditional and, later, new music fields such as: Tom Mitchell, Kilimanjaro, [[Mary McCaslin]] and Jim Ringer

==Engineers==

<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:MichaelCoutureatConsole.jpg|thumb|alt=Michael Couture at the Console|Michael Couture at console, Paul Asbell (Kilimanjaro) looking down, Chas Eller on the phone.]] -->

Resident engineers included co-founders Michael Couture and Bill Schubart, and also Chas Eller<ref>((cite web|title=Client List |url=http://www.charlesellerstudios.com/clientlist.html|publisher=Charles Eller Studios|accessdate=3 August 2011))</ref> and David Green. Gregg Lamping served as the [[technical engineer]].

==Artists==
Philo’s better known artists included [[Mary McCaslin]], Jim Ringer, Jean Carignan (Canada), [[Dave van Ronk]], [[Rosalie Sorrels]], [[Jean Redpath]], [[The Boys of the Lough]], [[Utah Phillips]], The [[New Black Eagle Jazz Band]], Bill Staines, Kilimanjaro, [[Patty Larkin]], Martin Grosswendt, and [[Nanci Griffith]].

==Bought by Rounder Records==

In 1979, the [[music industry]] suffered major losses from piracy and the collapse of the two-tier distribution system. In that year, Philo saw two of its major distributors fail and the significant loss of receivables triggered a chapter 11 filing under which Philo sought bankruptcy protection. The label limped along for two and a half more years continuing to pay down its debts and then sold itself to [[Rounder Records]] which assumed the label name and catalog of artists.
Rounder proved to be a good steward, keeping many of the albums available and converting many to the then-new [[CD]] format. Rounder added other well-known artists to the roster including: [[Ray Wylie Hubbard]], [[Ellis Paul]], [[Bill Morrissey]], [[Iris Dement]], [[Carrie Newcomer]], [[Christine Lavin]], [[Vance Gilbert]] and [[Cliff Eberhardt]]. In the continuing consolidation of a collapsing music media industry, Rounder itself was sold to [[Concord Music Group]] in April 2010.
