- Formed in 1988 by record industry anti-mogul Long Gone John, Sympathy for the Record Industry (also known as Sympathy Records or Sympathy 4 the R.I. ) is mainly an independent garage rock and punk label. The first Sympathy release was the Lazy Cowgirls' album "Radio Cowgirl" LP, which Long Gone John said he released as a "favor to the band. " Sympathy has a catalog of more than 750 releases, and is based out of Long Beach, California. Notable artists which started on Sympathy and went on to gain mainstream success include The White Stripes, The Electrocutes (the first Donnas incarnation), and Hole. Long Gone John is the owner, CEO, and seemingly the only employee of Sympathy. He is an avid record collector, with more than 10,000 records in his collection. He also owns Necessaries Toy Foundation, a company that creates 18-24 inch figures. Long Gone John also operates Sympathetic Press, a book publishing company that prints books with rock'n'roll themes. Other Sympathy acts worthy of notice have been Scarling. , Miss Derringer, The Muffs, Buck, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, The Von Bondies, Rocket from the Crypt, Billy Childish, Turbonegro, April March, The Dwarves, Suicide, The Gun Club, Inger Lorre and Motel Shootout, Man or Astro-man?, and Redd Kross. The name references The Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil", rather unsubtly implying, by analogy, that the record industry is the Devil. On July 20, 2007 Long Gone John announced via his Myspace Blog that he was selling the label for "$625,000.00 or $700,000.00 if i don't like you".
