d/a73 imprint found genesis in 1994 as a zine and vinyl record label.  The first release was aiding Little Rock, Arkansas' File Thirteen Records put out the Thumbnail “The Sound of...” LP.  Next d/a73, or Double Agent 73 as it was then known, aided in the release of the Serotonin “While I Breathe I Hope” EP. The last recording on vinyl to be released was the Harriet the Spy “God Gave Us Music and the Courage to Sing” 10” EP.

The next string of records came out in 2001, the 5 Spoonbender records. 2005 saw the label changing format, philosophy and even name (to d/a73).  Contained as a website, d/a73 began distributing all of its records for free, with artists such as Clutter, Susan Matthews, Lone Logician, 1000 Aeroplanes Crashing in the Night, Syntheteque, Sideways and Sugar, Faun, Taihen Ziko and The Sony AllStar.
