Paramount Records (1969)

Paramount Records (1969)

Paramount Records was a record label started in 1969 by Paramount Pictures (then a unit of Gulf+Western) after acquiring the rights to the name from George H. Buck. The previous label with the same name had been unconnected to Paramount Pictures. The new Paramount label reissued pop releases by sister label Dot Records, which became a country label. It also released new albums from other pop musicians and soundtracks to Paramount films, among others. One notable artist signed on with the label was The Brady Bunch.

After Gulf+Western sold its record label holdings to ABC in 1974, the Paramount label was discontinued in favor of ABC Records, which itself was sold to MCA in 1979. The Paramount catalog is now owned by Universal Music Group and managed by Geffen Records.
