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.

Entropy sets in.

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.

Entropy sets in.

Present Day: d/a73 imprint is reconstituted with its back catalog, and, just as importantly, new artists such as Wave Shaper, Luciano Parra and more to be announced.

Someday, entropy will set in again. This year marks the 20th anniversary of d/a73, from a tiny zine made in Colorado Springs, Colorado to, um, me sitting here at a computer in Nashville, Tennessee. d/a73 is a thread throughout my life, a source of great friendships and memories. I hope you enjoy the recordings.

Since its inception, Alligator has always kept a close eye both on new artists and new technologies. In the 1970s, the company produced LPs, cassettes and 8-track tapes. In the 1980s, Alligator was the first blues company to produce CDs, and in the 1990s Alligator was among the first labels to market its catalog over the Internet. These days, alligator.com, the label's website, and its social media sites are instantly updated with the latest news and tour dates. At the website, visitors can listen to a 250-song jukebox while reading bios of every artist, get free downloads and purchase CDs and other blues-related merchandise. Alligator is also deeply involved in the downloading worlds, working closely with almost all of the legitimate download services, making thousands of Alligator tracks available for instant online purchase.

Today Alligator Records is fueled by the same principles that it first established in 1971. The label continues to push forward, still bucking the odds, with everybody working long hours on a shoestring budget. The entire staff is always looking for new talent and listening to a wide variety of roots music. As driven and determined as ever, Alligator is committed to the future. "I want to keep bringing blues and roots music to new fans and getting them as excited about the music as I am," says Iglauer.
