The numbering also turned out to be more complex than I expected: There was a 2000 series and a 4000 series predating the 24000-series numbers I was familiar with. This clashed with my presumption that it had always been a "hard rock" label. Browsing through, I was intrigued by how many "legacy artists" had released albums on Geffen in the early 1980s: Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Donna Summer, and (tragically) John Lennon. One day, I borrowed the Goldmine Standard Catalog of American Records from the local library. But was there more to the story than that? All of their catalogue numbers appeared to be in the 24000s, and I naturally assumed that releases had started at 24001. I also knew it as the company that had sued Neil Young for making "unrepresentative music." The label appeared to have had a relatively brief existence compared to decades-old stalwarts like Columbia or Warner Bros. (It was probably a foregone destiny that I would pursue library science.)Īs for Geffen, I thought of it as a "hard rock" label that had propelled Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, and Aerosmith to chart successes in the late '80s and early '90s. Nevertheless, I was obsessed with tracking and organizing the collection.and I always made a point of noting the label and catalogue number of each CD. My focus was on music, not on corporate names, so collecting or concentrating on a specific label was never my original intention. When I was in high school many years ago, I started ammassing a CD collection. Good questions command a story.and this page was one of the first and oldest features I ever published on the web. And, "Why Geffen?" Those are both good questions. For example, Clay played notable roles in the Oscar-winning movie Blue Jasmine and shows like Entourage, Dice, as well as Pam & Tommy."What is this?," you ask. While Clay barely missed out on starring in My Cousin Vinny, he did land roles in a long list of TV shows and movies. On top of that, unlike a lot of comedians who’ve failed at acting, Clay became surprisingly successful in Hollywood. After all, Clay went on to consistently perform standup comedy for his adoring fans throughout the years. Much to Andrew Dice Clay’s credit, he proved to be a true survivor in the entertainment business.

As a result, after Clay no longer was the hot topic of the day, his career quickly began to slow down. Unfortunately for Andrew Dice Clay, that kind of act he adopted to gain success has a limited shelf life once people move on to the next controversy.
