	Ardent Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ardent Records, often shortened to "Ardent," was a Memphis-based record label of the early 1970s.
		Ardent featured pop-music acts and was distributed by Stax Records.
		The label was revived in the 1990s, and former Big Star guitarist Alex Chilton released recordings on the Ardent label in the mid-1990s.

	Number 1 Record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was released in 1972 by Memphis-based Ardent Records.
		#1 Record is the only Big Star album on which group founder Chris Bell is officially credited as a member, though he did make some contributions to its follow-up, 1974's Radio City.
		In 1992, Fantasy Records released #1 Record and Radio City together on a single compact disc.

	PCP : Cargoe -- Page 1
		When Ardent Records was launched in Memphis in 1972, it was Cargoe who label owners/producers/engineers John Fry and Terry Manning thought were going to put Ardent Records on the map, NOT Big Star.
		Ardent (Live in Memphis, Lucky Seven Records), Big Star's Jody Stephens told me -- not kidding at all -- that he almost hated for people to hear this album, and realize that Big Star weren't such a good live band after all.
		This is a band of talented multi-instrumentalists that could perform on a stage with a band as tight as The Allman Brothers (with Duane) and not be outclassed.

		In addition to the advantage this gives S/R/E, Ardent welcomes the marketing and distribution facets the staff at S/R/E is uniquely positioned with, and the skills they have to provide these artists with opportunities and outlets they may have not had before.
		Ardent Records, based in Memphis, TN, issued its first Christian releases in 1995, kicking off with initial projects by Big Tent Revival, Skillet and Smalltown Poets.
		Run by industry veteran Ford, the label was the brain-child of INO Records' president, Jeff Moseley, who sees the incredible growth pattern of the genre in the mainstream as well as in Christian music industries.

		Ardent records just purchased three tickets for a ride on the continuing modern praise & worship bandwagon.
		The project was recorded at the group’s home church, Harvest Christian Fellowship.
		Satellite Soul’s performance, recorded at Kansas City’s New Earth Coffeehouse, is the more laid back of the trio (darn that decaf).

	HOME
		This, and other of his songs, was recorded in his home garage studio (on Album Avenue!) It was apparent that there was no extended future in music in El Paso, so by 1963, Terry (and Bobby) had decided to move on.
		Ardent was just moving from the garage of owner John Fry to its first "professional" location on National Street.
		Ardent quickly assumed a reputation as being on the cutting-edge of the then-new multi-track technology, and many Stax Records artists, Hi Records artists, as well as R & B, blues and rock groups from New Orleans, Muscle Shoals, Nashville, and the surrounding South, came to use their services.

	WFMU's PSEU BRAUN Talks with Ardent and Lucky Seven's Terry Manning and Cargoe's Max Wisley & Bill Phillips
		We're talking about Ardent Records, which was just a few people with a very small staff in a small town in the South distributed by, yes, a bigger record company, but...
		That live recording was done at one of the very earliest FM simultaneous broadcasts--- simulcasts--- in stereo.
		But the Rock City recordings, which we had completed--- they were totally recorded, mixed, in a box, ready for mastering, ready to be released--- just as you hear them on the new CD release.

	Recording
		Even though there are studios throughout the metro area, the heart of the Memphis recording scene is in Midtown, a patchwork of neighborhoods with blocks of stately old homes and huge trees, as well as funky commercial areas and apartments.
		In the 1970s, the Ardent Records label was home to a handful of distinctively melodic pop rock bands.
		During the 1990s, Ardent retooled its label toward Christian rock with the AandR help of Dana Key, whose local group, DeGarmo and Key, was one of the first acts to bring meaningful visibility to the fledgling format in the '70s.

		Always a difficult but enjoyable prospect, a Best Records of the Year list gives this writer a chance to look back over music that made the deepest impression.
		As is often the case, especially in looking at local records, much of it wasn't commercial (fortunately there's more to a great album than how many copies it sells).
		So herewith is a very subjective pecking order (this week is local recordings, next week will be national) of albums that made me smile, made me sing and made me move.

	John Hiatt Records at Ardent With DSD System
		It is a step as significant as the move from analog to digital recording in the early 1980s.
		Instead of recording 24-bit words at a rate of 96 thousand times a second, it records a very fast 1-bit sigma-delta stream at a rate of 2.8 million bits a second.
		While there are some devices out there that can record multitrack DSD, the Sonoma-24 is the only one that can do this and provide the overdubbing and editing capabilities that everyone is familiar with, given the power of today's workstations.

	Satellite Soul - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Ardent recording artists Satellite Soul, along with label-mates All Together Separate, and Skillet, have each recorded a live worship album designed to bring the message to the hungry.
		ardent worship: Satellite Soul, Live, as described in the liner notes, is designed to be a “passionate, fervent honor paid to God.” The album certainly verifies this claim.
		Because the album was recorded live, the production is a little less studio-quality than their debut album, Great Big Universe.

		Ardent Records later reformed and is still in business in Memphis.
		After the downfall of Ardent Records in 1975, part-owner Terry Manning opened Privilege Records for a very brief run of singles that included a promo-only single of September Gurls by Big Star also detailed in the Big Star Discography.
		Some records were never released in the US and I default to the earliest pressing in whatever country it may have been released.

		Since their self-titled debut release on Forefront/Ardent Records in 1996, the band has been releasing hard-hitting tunes with a strong Christ-centered message and captivating audiences with their energetic and worship-filled live performances.

		The goal of the Ardent Records label is to produce records that are at once completely authentic modern music and completely consistent with the Gospel.
		We seek to offer the Christian fan of secular music, who may struggle with its message, a true alternative: a vehicle for sharing their faith with their friends that needs no apologies for their music.
		But of equal importance we, along with our label artists, are passionate about presenting the hope of Christ clearly in our recordings.
