Oaken Palace Records is an independent record label based in Birmingham, England. The label is a registered charity with 100% of the profits donated to organisations supporting endangered species. [1]

Contents

Each release is dedicated to an endangered species of the artist's choosing, and all the profits from the release are donated to an organisation dedicated to helping that species. [2] The records are produced as environmentally-friendly as possible: the sleeves are made of 100% recycled cardboard, printed with non-toxic inks, and with carbon neutral record pressing. [3] As of June 2016 they have raised over £5,200. [4]
