==Description==

The '''begin date''' property of a [[Label]] stores the date at which the label was created. The meaning may depend on the [[Label Type|LabelType]]:
* for officially registered companies, such as holdings, distributors, and recording labels, it's the creation date of the company
* for imprints, collection names (when used as labels) and subdivisions (or subsidiaries) for which there is no available (or hard to find) creation date, it's the release date of the first ever issued release under that label name
* for bootleg companies (more generally for obscure/dubious companies), it's tolerable also to use the release date of the first release, unless more accurate data is available

Like other dates in [[MusicBrainz]] (be it in [[Release Event|ReleaseEvent]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, in [[Advanced Relationships|AdvancedRelationships]], [[Artist Begin Date|ArtistBeginDate]] and [[Artist End Date|ArtistEndDate]]) the '''begin date''' of a [[Label]] can vary in its accuracy from just a year to the exact day. Note that you cannot enter just a day without specifying a month or just a month without a year though.

The '''begin date''' of a [[Label]] corresponds with the [[Label End Date|LabelEndDate]].
