Morphology
The meaning 'a company that produces and markets musical recordings' is directly derivable from combining 'recording' (a saved sound or musical item) with 'label' (a company that releases/sells records). This is a regular noun–noun compound following common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Recording label comes from the paper 'label' stuck to the middle of a vinyl record that showed the artist and the maker. Because people read the maker's name on the label, the phrase came to mean the 'company' that produces and sells music.
