Water in the label adhesive can evaporate when used in hot printers, so we would recommend not printing on the same sheet more than once. The new coalition also brings about the promotion of Claire Coster, who is upped to a centralised director of publicity post, overseeing all talent press across WMUK. In a long and successful career at Atlantic Records UK, Coster has played a critical role in supporting multiple campaigns for Anne-Marie, Charli XCX and Ed Sheeran.

We know some of king Den's queens by name: Nakht-Neith, Semat, and perhaps Qua-Neith. One queen is buried in Giza in a tomb that was actually larger than Den's own, but we do not know her name. This is an interesting trend of the times - women having as big or even bigger tombs than the pharaohs. The figure holding a mace on this hippopotamus ivory label is King Den. He was a member of the first dynasty of rulers that united Egypt into a single state. This label was attached to one of Den's sandals and placed in his tomb when he died. In front of Den a much smaller enemy cowers. Hieroglyphs on the label celebrate, 'the first occasion of smiting the east'. They refer to King Den's military conquests in Sinai, eastern Egypt. In addition to these gifts, the king was also accompanied into the afterlife by members of his personal household staff, over 130 individuals, who were buried in rows of graves around his tomb. Each of these graves originally had its own small tomb-marker of limestone, inscribed with the name of the occupant.

Music Week understands that Parlophone, which launched as a UK label in 1923, will maintain its presence as a frontline record company within the new wider coalition. The label, formerly part of EMI, is one of the most famous in the world with a history of recording artists including The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Hollies and, later, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Blur and Radiohead. Parlophone will maintain independent A&R and marketing functions but will now draw on a centralised team of experts and adopt a shared service approach to the other key functions. The move to centralise operations as part of a coalition follows recent label restructuring, including Capitol becoming part of EMI Records at Universal Music UK, and Ministry Of Sound operating as part of Columbia Recordsat Sony Music UK. Ivory has had a successful run at Warner Records UK, including multiple No.1 album campaigns and the first ever chart-eligible NFT LP from Muse. Isabel Garvey said: “I am delighted to be re-joining the Warner Music family at a time when WMUK is positioning itself towards an exciting and innovative future. The industry is more challenging and yet full of opportunity than ever, and I look forward to working with Tony, the dynamic executive team and the brilliant roster of artists to grow the business further.”See also P. Kaplony, 'Die Inschriften der Ägyptischen Frühzeit II (Wiesbaden, 1964), 983, n. 1551 - Dwn ỉ and vol. I, 284;

Two more inscriptions occur, one on either side of Den's body. The one behind him contains the name of Inka, a high official. The other is too archaic to be read with certainty (but see the suggestion made in the Inscription field). The figures, on the other hand, are stylistically much more developed than the schematic renderings on most other First Dynasty images. Den's long-limbed body is well proportioned. In marked contrast to the smiting king on the Narmer palette, a strong forward movement is conveyed by the angle of his body and by the way in which his heel is raised from the ground. The raised heel was later the standard means of indicating running or vigorous striding in two-dimensional figures. In later smiting scenes, the enemy's despair is indicated primarily by his supplicating gestures; here, his desperation is more vividly conveyed by the awkwardness of his unbalanced stance. The royal scene is thematically relevant, since sandals from later periods are sometimes painted with figures of enemies, so that the wearer would trample on them with every step. For references to the incised picture of a pair of sandals, see P. Kaplony, 'Die Inschriften der Ägyptischen Frühzeit I (Wiesbaden, 1963), 341; P. Kaplony, 'Die Inschriften der Ägyptischen Frühzeit II (Wiesbaden, 1964), 986, n. 1556; P. E. Newberry, 'Journal of Egyptian Archaeology' 14 (1928), 110, fig. 3. In addition to these references, the label has been discussed in R. Weill, ‘Recherches sur la première dynastie et les temps prépharaoniques’ I (Cairo, 1961), 15-17; R. Weill, ‘Recherches sur la première dynastie et les temps prépharaoniques’ II, 90-1; K. Sethe, 'Untersuchungen' III, 64. One specific grave good of the First Dynasty is the solar barque. Twelve of these boats have been unearthed and excavated at Abydos, while others are known from Saqqara and Helwan (a necropolis of Memphis and a suburb of modern Cairo). The ancient Egyptians believed that this was the vessel by which the sun god Ra traveled through the heavenly sea of the goddess Nun. Every night, he would pass through twelve ports (one representing each hour of the night), defeat the snake Apophis, and eventually rise as the sun the next morning. The Egyptians also believed that the pharaoh, once deceased, would embark on the sun god’s boat and join this journey through the Underworld, encountering various challenges along the way before the weighing of the heart.This object is also illustrated in a number of general works including C. Aldred, 'Egypt to the end of the Old Kingdom' (London, 1965), 64, fig. 55; Although the dynastic family came originally from southern Egypt, the court ruled from the city of Memphis in the north. Den chose to make his own tomb in the south, returning to the region of his origin. There will also be a leadership change at Parlophone Records, with Jennifer Ivory, currently, SVP, Warner Records UK, taking over as managing director. Warner Music UK’s series of strategic changes are also designed to allow the company to evolve into the future, including two senior appointments as well as a collaboration of label resources between Warner Records and Parlophone. That will see an expanded role for Warner Records UK president Joe Kentish. However this may be, the desert plain behind the city of Memphis, Saqqara, was put into use as a necropolis for the elite members of society as well as royalty. Impressive Early Dynastic tombs have been unearthed here and there seems to have been a trend to build ever bigger and wealthier tombs. King Ninetjer, dressed for the Sed festival

Parlophone was acquired by Warner Music in 2012 as part of a European Commission requirement for UMG's deal to take control of EMI. E. Russmann, 'Eternal Egypt : masterworks of ancient art from the British Museum' (New York, 2001), 67-8 No. 2; Interestingly enough his serekh name is written on the "First smiting of the east" -label (more below) with the already traditional Horus on top, but also the Seth animal on a standard. Now Seth and Horus were enemies, but Seth was also the god of Deshret, the red land, the desert. The kings of the first dynasty expanded their influence to the south, gaining control of Lower Nubia. First dynasty (c.3000-c.2825) Narmer (Menes?)Like his predecessors, Den also had subsidiary burials around his tomb - 136 in all, both men and women. They were buried at the same time as the king, and the were probably strangled. An interesting detail was the stela of a dwarf named Ser-Inpu - dwarfs were highly valued in ancient Egypt, and a wnted addition to a king's court. Other official rituals that were considered ma' at, or the right way of doing things, are attributed to Den's rule as far as we know. The changes appear to have been sudden, with Melhuish only just promoted to a new role of general manager last month. Mitchell took charge at Parlophone just over five years ago - later joined by Burgess - following the departure of longtime label boss Miles Leonard, who spent over 20 years there. With Parlophone and Warner Records UK coming together and drawing on the expertise of our new centralised coalition, we will harness our collective firepower and lean on a wide range of proficient minds to take the company forward.” Effective May 9, Isabel Garvey– most recently MD of Universal Music’s Abbey Road Studios – will take up the newly created post of chief operating officer, Warner Music UK, reporting to Harlow.
