That period wsa also big because few if any artists had taken such control 
before that.

Of course, the sixties were about opening things up, the music industry 
wsa very different at the end than it had been at the beginning.

Other artists followed with their own record labels, some more successful 
than others.  Grateful Dead Records only lasted a few years, for instance.

It's a bigger thing now, with artists from day one releasing their albums 
on their own label.  Or many "older" artists have been dropped by their 
record company, but at least got the rights to their old records, so they 
start a company and release the old records that way.
