(also habitually represented with a hyphen as Time-Life, Inc., even by the company itself) was an American multi-media conglomerate company formerly known as a prolific production/publishing company and <a href="/wiki/Direct_marketing" title="Direct marketing">direct marketeer</a> seller of books, music, video/DVD, and other multimedia products. After all home market book publication activities had been shuttered in 2003, the focus of the group shifted towards music, video, and entertainment experiences – such as the StarVista cruises – exclusively. Its products have once been sold worldwide throughout the Americas, Europe, Australasia, and Asia via television, print, retail, the Internet, telemarketing, and direct sales. Activities were largely restricted to the North American home market afterwards, and operations were until recently focused on the US and Canada alone with very limited retail distribution overseas, ceasing all together in 2023. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Time_Life&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> Time-Life, Inc. was founded in 1961 as the book marketing subsidiary of the New York City-based <a href="/wiki/Time_Inc." title="Time Inc.">Time Inc.</a>, the later, around 1966, coined Time & Life, Inc.

It remained independent from both however, even though the company could in the beginning draw on the editorial services of both for their early 1960s book series, particularly where pictorial content was concerned. The subsidiary moved out of the New York City premises to its own headquarters in Chicago, USA after <a href="/wiki/Time-Life_Building_(Chicago)" class="mw-redirect" title="Time-Life Building (Chicago)">that building</a> had finished construction in 1969 (though it had left the book division at New York for the editorial convenience of having the Time and Life pictorial archives nearby),<a href="#cite_note-boos&music-3">[3]</a> before it relocated back east again to 8280 Willow Oaks Corporate Drive, Fairfax, VA 22031 in 1986 where it remained until its ultimate demise in 2023.<a href="#cite_note-mosaic-4">[4]</a> Starting in 1967, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set.

When record labels were no longer producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life transitioned to CD. In the mid-1990s, Time Life acquired Heartland Music, with the Heartland Music label then appearing as a brand. This company was subsequently sold off and is no longer associated with Time Life.

It was also the U.S. television distributor of programs from the <a href="/wiki/BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a> in the United Kingdom until Lionheart Television took over in 1982.

Its <a href="/wiki/1271_Avenue_of_the_Americas" title="1271 Avenue of the Americas">1271 Avenue of the Americas</a> location became Time-Life's nascent headquarters as well in the first years of its existence after Time & Life had shortly before relocated from its <a href="/wiki/1_Rockefeller_Plaza" title="1 Rockefeller Plaza">previous premises</a> in <a href="/wiki/Rockefeller_Center" title="Rockefeller Center">Rockefeller Center</a> in 1960. In 2014 it relocated again to smaller premises elsewhere in the city. As a brand, Time-Life actually outlived its sire by five years, as the remnants of Time & Life went defunct in early 2018 after a steady three-decades long decline (mirroring in effect the misfortunes of its erstwhile progeny), with its handful of surviving assets being broken up and sold piecemeal to a variety of third-party outsiders.

It was Time, Inc. itself however, that did initiate the publication of DTC book series in 1960 with their long running 1960-67 LIFE World Library series, before it was two years later placed into the care of its newly established subsidiary.<a href="#cite_note-world-18">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rise">Rise</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Time_Life&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Rise">edit</a>]</div> After having tested the waters with the tentative 1960–61 <a href="/wiki/Paperback" title="Paperback">trade paperback</a> Time Capsule budget-priced book series publishing trial run (which actually evolved into their 1962-1966 <a href="/wiki/Time_Reading_Program" title="Time Reading Program">Time Reading Program</a> series, the only other known paperback book series the publisher released afterwards), the new subsidiary started out for real in 1962 with the 1960-67 LIFE World Library (the "Time" qualifier was only in 1966 added to the company's name and book logos, coinciding with the renaming of sire company "Time, Inc." to "Time & Life, Inc.") <a href="/wiki/Hardback" class="mw-redirect" title="Hardback">hardback</a> series it had inherited from its mother company, with the hardback slated to become the subsidiary's staple book release format. The by the general populace perceived cachet of the hardback format where quality of both format and contents were concerned, actually lined up fully with the intent of original publisher Jerome Hardy, who had declared early on that his publishing company would succeed through a strategy to "give the customer more than he has any right to expect."<a href="#cite_note-Hatch-19">[19]</a> Several of these book series garnered substantial critical acclaim unusual for a mass-market mail order book club/retailer of which there were several in the era, most conspicuously that of contemporary competitor <a href="/wiki/Reader%27s_Digest" title="Reader's Digest">Reader's Digest</a>.<a href="#cite_note-rd-20">[20]</a> On the first volume in the 1966–70 Library of Art series (the eighth one Time-Life took in production at the time) for example, American artist <a href="/wiki/Rockwell_Kent" title="Rockwell Kent">Rockwell Kent</a> commented, "It would be hard for me to overstate my delight in "The World of Michelangelo" – not merely for its superb reproductions of the master’s work but for the textual and pictorial presentation."<a href="#cite_note-pub1966-1">[1]</a> Other examples standing out for their perceived picture/text quality included the 1970-72 LIFE Library of Photography series which featured for its time very high-quality <a href="/wiki/Duotone" title="Duotone">duotone</a> printing for its black-and-white reproductions in its original edition, having been able to draw on Life's own vast archive of journalistic and art photographs from virtually every major contemporary photographer (hence the series temporary return to the "Life"-only title), remaining in print for over a decade besides spawning two spinoff photography series.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> In similar vein, the 1968–77 Foods Of The World series featured contributions by renowned contemporary food writers/critics and chefs such as <a href="/wiki/M._F._K._Fisher" title="M.

Content of all of these earlier series was somewhat academic in tone and presentation, providing the basics of the subjects in the way it might be done in a lecture aimed at the general public. One of the earliest such series concerned the 1965–68 Great Ages of Man history series, which was critically acclaimed by the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a> where it was stated in a 1966 editorial that the series "(…)demonstrates the imposing possibilities of pictorial history… This, of course, is to be expected from the TIME-LIFE specialists.

This is history written with respect for the reader’s intelligence, and, therefore, more worthy of praise".<a href="#cite_note-pub1966-1">[1]</a> The same held equally true for the slightly earlier 1963–64 The LIFE History of the United States series where each of the volumes was written by an American historian of contemporary renown.<a href="#cite_note-US_history-22">[22]</a> Because of their intrinsic transient nature in regard to validity, most science book series quickly became ephemera of their time only a short while later on, especially those concerning fields in which developments followed each other at breakneck speed, such as the ones covered in the late 1980s Understanding Computers and Voyage Through the Universe series which were already outdated before either series had even completed its run. Nor were their history series entirely exempt from this phenomenon either, especially the early 1960s ones, as new insights, archeological findings and new technology have the potential to completely rewrite history as understood in past decades. <a href="/wiki/Mayan_history" class="mw-redirect" title="Mayan history">Mayan history</a> for example, was featured in Time Life's early Great Ages of Man and The Emergence of Man series. However, historians were forced to largely rewrite Mayan history after <a href="/wiki/Maya_script" title="Maya script">their script</a> had been fully unlocked and <a href="/wiki/Lidar" title="Lidar">modern technology</a> had revolutionized Maya archeology in the 21st century, making the Time Life book entries on the subject obsolete and outdated.

The books though, regardless of their perceived quality, are easy to find at low prices on the used-book market, due to their being published in millions of copies. The same incidentally, also applied for the handful of later stand-alone book titles the company had published that were not part of a series, such as the 1995 "Eyewitness: 150 years of photojournalism" (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/0848710223" title="Special:BookSources/0848710223">0848710223</a>) title, but which were nonetheless usually conceived along the same thematic and format execution lines as the main book series had been. Yet, Time-Life Books was still able to sell 20 million books in 1985, which, at a US$260 million turnover that year (after having suffered a disastrous sales plunge to a mere US$1,6 million two years earlier<a href="#cite_note-turn83-24">[24]</a>), made the subsidiary the largest single earning component of Time-Life, Inc. at that particular point in time – though it had to lay off over 200 employees (out of the total 1,243 employee pool of 1983, spread over ten worldwide offices<a href="#cite_note-turn83-24">[24]</a>) and shutter the <a href="/wiki/Mexico_City" title="Mexico City">Mexico City</a> (Time-Life International de Mexico S.A. de C.V.) and <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> (Time Life International Publishing) operations to turn around the dramatic net operating losses suffered earlier that decade,<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> but which also heralded the beginning of Time-Life Books' gradual withdrawal from the Far Eastern and Latin-American markets. Of some series it was known that a particular series title enjoyed a much smaller print run than the other volumes in the series, resulting in the after-market value of that particular volume and/or the set as a whole increasing initially – though the general trend of waning interest in physical books, those of Time-Life included, has caused these prices to decrease again after the turn of the millennium. Examples include the fourteen-volume "40th Anniversary Edition" The Civil War: A Narrative and the eighteen-volume Voices of the Civil War series, where the volumes "Petersburg Siege to Bentonville" (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/0783501129" title="Special:BookSources/0783501129">0783501129</a>) and "Shenandoah 1864" (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/078354717X" title="Special:BookSources/078354717X">078354717X</a>) were the rarer ones respectively. The same applied for "The Rise of Cities" volume (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/0705409910" title="Special:BookSources/0705409910">0705409910</a>) from the twenty five-volume History of the World series, the UK variant of the home market Time Frame series where it had been a common volume. Nor was this phenomenon restricted to the English-language volume releases alone; of the "Gemstones" volume of the Planet Earth series, which had been a common one for the source release, is known that its "Edelgesteenten" Dutch-language counterpart (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/906182494X" title="Special:BookSources/906182494X">906182494X</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>) had been the rare one, still commanding premium prices on Dutch/Belgian used-book markets for its extreme scarcity. Non-USA-specific topic series were habitually translated into other languages (French being the most predominant, due to Time Life's desire to have to bordering French-Canada served as well), and disseminated through local branches of Time-Life Books in the intended target markets. For several, usually smaller language areas, Time-Life regularly resorted to licensing out their publications to local publishers, as was for example the case with <a href="/wiki/The_Old_West" title="The Old West">The Old West</a> and The Enchanted World series. One major such licensee had been Barcelona, Spain-based Ediciones Folio, S.A. who for decades was signed for several Spanish-language series editions in Europe – for Latin America Time-Life Books resorted to (smaller) local publishers on an ad-hoc basis. The British, French, German and Dutch European edition releases though, were handled by Time-Life themselves through their in 1976 established subsidiary branch "Time-Life International (Nederland) B.V." (renamed to "Time-Life Books B.V." in the early-1980s and located at the time at Ottho Heldringstraat 5, 1066 AZ <a href="/wiki/Amsterdam" title="Amsterdam">Amsterdam</a>, <a href="/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>) as headquarters for mainland Europe and the British isles, which maintained administrative satellite offices in <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> (<a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>),<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> (<a href="/wiki/UK" class="mw-redirect" title="UK">UK</a>),<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> (<a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>),<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> not by coincidence all located in the countries where Time-Life Books took on the publisher role itself. However, not rarely were these translated versions truncated for a variety of reasons. The Dutch language versions of History of the World (as "Time Life Wereld Geschiedenis"), The Epic of Flight (as "De Geschiedenis van de Luchtvaart"), The Enchanted World (as "Het Rijk der Fabelen"), and Mysteries of the Unknown (no Dutch series title) series, for example, were shy of four, seven, eight, and a whopping twenty-five volumes in translation respectively. Likewise, the German-language version of The Old West (as "Der Wilde Westen," and, even though American specific, translated nonetheless due to the continued and unabated popularity of the <a href="/wiki/Western_(genre)" title="Western (genre)">Western genre</a> in Germany), disseminated through the Amsterdam branch as Time-Life Bücher, was shy of seven volumes just like the French-language Le Far West edition was. Of at least one series is known that it had been initiated by a local branch and not by the American mother company; the 1986–89 book series Australians at War was initiated by the local <a href="/wiki/Australasian" class="mw-redirect" title="Australasian">Australasian</a> subsidiary, "Time-Life Books (Australia) Pty Ltd." – located at 15 Blue Street, North Sydney, N.S.W. 2060, Australia at the time, according to the volume colophons of the series – and therefore relatively rare on American/European soil. Prior to Time-Life, Inc.'s decision to relocate its headquarters from Chicago to Fairfax, Virginia in late 1986,<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> it had long before that already decided to split off the book division onto its own entity in 1964, as above stated, in order to better differentiate between their book and the non-print media activities. Time-Life Books, Inc. had in the meantime moved out its New York City premises (where it was left behind by its mother company when they moved to Chicago in 1969) a decade earlier in early 1977 to the nearby 2000 Duke St. Alexandria, VA 22314 premises,<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> to become a nigh next-door neighbor eventually of its mother company after 1986, and where it stayed until it was vacated in 2004.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> Contemporary reporters though, had a tough time keeping both premises apart, as they kept confusing one for the other.<a href="#cite_note-sell-2">[2]</a> Time-Life Books' DTC business model started to slump around 1991. Then-Deputy Editor Harris Andrews recalled how distraught he got when his 1991 Echoes of Glory mini-series project did not do well in DTC sales. However, once the mini-series became one of the very first to be also distributed through regular book store retail channels, sales picked up dramatically, thereby becoming a sales success after all.

English-language versions of British Commonwealth-pedigree series were published by a variety of publishers for the various English-speaking territories in the world, with the regional Time-Life Books B.V. Amsterdam subsidiary commonly designated for Europe and the British Isles, as mentioned in the <a href="/wiki/Colophon_(publishing)" title="Colophon (publishing)">colophons</a> of the individual volumes. The Amsterdam subsidiary also took care of the potential other-language editions in Europe. These European Time Life versions are far less common, if not outright rare, in used-book markets—the North American ones in particular—than Time Life's own proprietary releases are. The non-proprietary US home market releases on the other hand, are rare on European soil.

Although there were television advertisements, Time Life advertised most of these sets in magazines, specialty catalogs and <a href="/wiki/Advertising_mail" title="Advertising mail">direct mail</a>, just like it did with their book series. In the early 1980s, Time Life began branching out, offering a series of albums focusing on <a href="/wiki/Country_music" title="Country music">country music</a>. The first series was 1981's "Country Music," with volumes focusing on a particular artist and featuring eight or nine tracks per album. Twenty volumes were issued, with many of country's greatest artists of the time (<a href="/wiki/Charley_Pride" title="Charley Pride">Charley Pride</a> was the first artist featured) getting their own album. But until the mid-1980s, Time Life did not feature a rock music-intensive series for customers, preferring to cater to older adults with conservative music tastes. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pop_music_enters_the_picture">Pop music enters the picture</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Time_Life&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Pop music enters the picture">edit</a>]</div> Time Life's first successful foray into rock music came in 1986, with a series called "The Rock 'n' Roll Era." Each volume in that series—like similar series that followed—focused on a particular year (in this case, 1955 through 1964—the early, pre-Beatles years of rock music), a stylistic trend or particular artist influential in rock music. Each volume had 22 tracks, and was said to contain the original hit recording by the original artist (although this wasn't always true on early pressings of the early albums in the series). The songs themselves represented the most important and popular songs from the period or subject featured. An essay published by Both Sides Now Publications noted that Time-Life's move into rock music came at a time when much of the adult audience Time-Life catered to grew up during the rock-and-roll era and, as such, the new series was consistent with its goal of catering to an adult audience.<a href="#cite_note-boos&music-3">[3]</a> "<a href="/wiki/The_Rock%27n%27Roll_Era_(Time-Life_Music)" title="The Rock'n'Roll Era (Time-Life Music)">The Rock 'n' Roll Era</a>" series was a big success, and by the time the final volume was issued in the early 1990s, more than 50 different volumes (including two Christmas albums) had been released. This paved the way for more country and pop music-intensive series, including "<a href="/wiki/Country_USA_(Time-Life_Music)" title="Country USA (Time-Life Music)">Country USA</a>," "<a href="/wiki/Classic_Rock_(Time-Life_Music)" title="Classic Rock (Time-Life Music)">Classic Rock</a>," "<a href="/wiki/Sounds_of_the_Seventies_(Time-Life_Music)" title="Sounds of the Seventies (Time-Life Music)">Sounds of the Seventies</a>," "Sounds of the Eighties," "Your Hit Parade" (a series featuring popular music of the 1940s through early 1960s) and "<a href="/w/index.php?title=AM_Gold_(Time-Life_Music)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="AM Gold (Time-Life Music) (page does not exist)">Super Hits</a>." Like the earlier series, each volume issued had its own paperback booklet containing liner notes and information about the songs, with the addition of placement on various <a href="/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)" title="Billboard (magazine)">Billboard</a> magazine charts. Like the earlier box-sets featuring other musical styles and genres, the country and pop music series were advertised in magazines, catalogs and direct mail. By this time though, and like its Time-Life Books sibling division, most of these collections were advertised on television as well, vigorously so in effect.<a href="#cite_note-58">[52]</a> There was a difference though; did Time Life Books contend itself with the standard one-to-two minute long commercials, Time Life Music also made much more use of half hour commercials, which they poured in the guise of documentaries, the so-called "<a href="/wiki/Infomercial" title="Infomercial">infomercials</a>", and not rarely presented by artists whose music was presented on the underlying release.<a href="#cite_note-59">[53]</a> The television advertisements used slogans (e.g., "Relive your high school days ..."), clips of songs included in each volume (along with a scrolling list of other titles), a commercial spokesman (usually a performer or legendary disc jockey relevant to a given series, such as <a href="/wiki/Rick_Dees" title="Rick Dees">Rick Dees</a> for a 1970s-intensive collection and <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Emery" title="Ralph Emery">Ralph Emery</a> for a country music series) and testimonials from customers attesting to the quality and value of the albums, to pitch a given series. Key selling points of these collections are that each track was digitally transferred to the desired format using the original master recordings, as opposed to being "re-records"; and that the most popular and requested songs by customers could be found in a single collection (as opposed to a customer having to purchase many albums to obtain just a few desired tracks). Customers were given a choice of which format they wanted their box set: either <a href="/wiki/Vinyl_record" class="mw-redirect" title="Vinyl record">vinyl albums</a> (through 1990), <a href="/wiki/8-track_tape" class="mw-redirect" title="8-track tape">8-track</a> or <a href="/wiki/Compact_audio_cassette" class="mw-redirect" title="Compact audio cassette">cassette tape</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Compact_disc" title="Compact disc">compact disc</a>; today's box sets are offered only as compact discs. While most of Time Life's box-sets and releases were critically hailed, there were also some minor faults pointed out by critics. For instance, several early pressings of the early volumes in "The Rock'n'Roll Era" series contained stereo re-recordings of the original hits (something that would be corrected on later pressings, either with the correct original recording or a replacement track). Sometimes, the most popular songs of a given time period were omitted, frequently due to licensing issues. Examples included <a href="/wiki/The_Beatles" title="The Beatles">The Beatles</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones" title="The Rolling Stones">The Rolling Stones</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Classic_Rock_(Time-Life_Music)" title="Classic Rock (Time-Life Music)">Classic Rock</a> and "Super Hits"/"AM Gold" series;, <a href="/wiki/Garth_Brooks" title="Garth Brooks">Garth Brooks</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shania_Twain" title="Shania Twain">Shania Twain</a> on various country music series;, and <a href="/wiki/Prince_(musician)" title="Prince (musician)">Prince</a>, <a href="/wiki/Madonna_(entertainer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Madonna (entertainer)">Madonna</a>, <a href="/wiki/Whitney_Houston" title="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a>, <a href="/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses" title="Guns N' Roses">Guns N' Roses</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bon_Jovi" title="Bon Jovi">Bon Jovi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Janet_Jackson" title="Janet Jackson">Janet Jackson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jackson" title="Michael Jackson">Michael Jackson</a> on the main Sounds of the Eighties series. Time Life Music too, was included in the December 31, 2003 sale of Time Life, Inc. to Direct Holdings Global, the former Time Warner owners having cited the "earnings drag of the direct-marketing music division" caused by the "challenging publishing environment where sales have suffered from a lack of hits and the downturn in the music business" as the reason to have the once highly successful division included in the sale as well.<a href="#cite_note-60">[54]</a> Through 2010, several different series Time Life had offered were available on a subscription basis, either by calling a <a href="/wiki/Toll-free_telephone_number" title="Toll-free telephone number">1-800 number</a> or sending a completed postcard-sized card and payment to Time Life. Purportedly, the customer would get a specific volume (as advertised on TV or in a magazine) first, before receiving a new volume roughly every other month (on the format of their choice); customers and had the option of keeping just the volumes they wanted. In time, each volume was also offered for individual sale. Several of the series – especially the pop, rock, country and rhythm and blues series – had retail versions for sale, released after the entire series was issued. Typically, these were sold at discount stores, often grouped in three-CD sets of 12 tracks each and having the most popular of the series' tracks, and cover artwork and naming loosely based on the subscription/catalog-exclusive titles. Additionally, the "Classic Country" series had special 15-track single-CD versions of several of its volumes issued for retail sale (in addition to budget 3-CD sets). As of March 2023, Time Life began shutting down its <a href="/wiki/Direct-to-consumer" title="Direct-to-consumer">DTC</a> CD and DVD music service. Until May 2024, the company's website only listed a toll-free number for assistance and the Time-Life infomercial channel has been pulled from all cable services, before it went permanently dark altogether. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Saguaro_Road_Records">Saguaro Road Records</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Time_Life&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Saguaro Road Records">edit</a>]</div> In 2008, Reader's Digest Association (RDA) launched Saguaro Roads Records, Inc. as an in-house music recording label,<a href="#cite_note-sec-13">[13]</a> and resorted it under Time Life due to its 2007 subordination under RDA by their then-owner Ripplewood.
