ATP Recordings is a British
independent record label that was started in
2001 by
London concert promoter Barry Hogan of Foundation/
All Tomorrow's Parties. It was originally created to bring out a compilation cd (ATPRCD01) after the
Tortoise-curated
All Tomorrow's Parties event. First, everyone who attended the first festival was given a limited edition promotional sampler (PROATPFCD01), the packaging of which echoed the
Factory Records style of
Peter Saville. The full compilation followed later, and indeed a number of other ATP festivals would also receive the compilation treatment, the most recent being the 2006 Nightmare Before Christmas, for which ATPR and Plan B Magazine collaborated on a free cd given out to attendees.
