- Als Vanity Label werden Plattenlabels bezeichnet, auf denen hauptsächlich Künstler veröffentlichen, die schon erfolgreich Tonträger verkauft haben. Vanity Labels sind stets einem Mutterlabel zugeordnet. So haben sie den Vorteil künstlerischer Freiheit, da die Finanzierung von Produktion und Vertrieb der Tonträger das übergeordnete Label übernimmt. Ferner werden Vanity Labels von den Betreibern genutzt, um befreundete Musiker oder Bands bekannt zu machen. (de)
- A vanity label (see related topic on vanity press) is an informal name sometimes given to a record label founded as a wholly or partially owned subsidiary of another, larger, and better established (at least at the time of the vanity label's founding) record label, where the subsidiary is (at least nominally) controlled by a successful recording artist, designed to allow this artist to release music by other artists they admire. The parent label handles the production and distribution and funding of the vanity label, but the album is usually released with the vanity brand name prominent. Usually, the artist/head of the vanity label is signed to the parent label, and this artist's own recordings will be released under the vanity brand name. Creating a vanity label can be an attractive idea for the parent label, primarily as a "perk" to keep a successful artist on the label's roster happy and as a venue to bring fellow artists to the public's attention.

- Il termine inglese vanity label (letteralmente etichetta di vanità) identifica un'etichetta discografica fondata e gestita da un artista, in genere per avere un certo grado di libertà da una o più etichette principali che ne distribuiscono la produzione. Il fenomeno potrebbe rientrare nella categoria dell'editoria a pagamento, anche se generalmente le vanity label sono finanziate dalle relative etichette principali più che dallo stesso artista (che spesso ha un contratto e pubblica/ha pubblicato con queste ultime).
