Uncle Art, Transmogrified

To that end, Beezwax was born with a peculiar, built-in safeguard against that kind of success: each and every Beezwax CD to date has been hand-stamped with a serial number, date-stamped according to the day it was assembled, embossed, personalized with the CD owner’s name (whenever possible), hand assembled, and registered into a database that began on October 31, 1997: The day Uncle Art, "Transmogrified" launched.

While this has allowed Beezwax to maintain a very complete database of customers, it also serves a larger purpose: to remind both label and listener that the most important part of the equation is the music.

Call it crazy or call it brilliant, the Beezwax Records approach has ensured that everyone who is touched by the music knows they are enjoying to a work of art, made in the traditional manner, just as the label’s slogan says: "One of a kind . . . . One at a time."

"Beezwax . . . . It's almost a subversive statement about the distinction between tiny indie labels and the mega-corporate products."    -Josef Woodard, L.A. Times
