Sanctuary Records

SANCTUARY RECORDS
 
 
Sanctuary Records Group Limited  is a record label based in the United Kingdom and a subsidiary of BMG Rights Management.  Until June 2007, it was the largest independent record label in the UK and the largest independent music management company in the world.  It was also the world’s largest independent owners of music intellectual property rights, with over 160,000 songs.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

I have the last two albums by Soledad Brothers:  Voice of Treason (2004) on Sanctuary Records and The Hardest Walk (2006) on Alive Records.  The Alive CD has an enlargement of their drumhead on the back cover, with the band name, the Black Panther Party logo (a panther naturally), and a slogan in Latin:  “Libertas Unitas Fraternitas”.  The meaning is “liberty, unity, brotherhood” and is similar to the slogan of the French Revolution – Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) – that remains the National Motto of France.
