What is the difference between Record Labels and Publishers?

Publishers administer the rights for musical compositions and sometimes for master recordings (combining publishing and label duties). Record Labels administer the rights for master recordings.

Basically, publishers work with the composition and Recording Labels work with the recordings. Sometimes, they are administered by the same company.
