Barnaby Records

Barnaby Records

Barnaby Records was an American record company founded by singer Andy Williams in 1963 with his purchase of soon-to-be-liquidated Cadence Records.It held the rights to work by a number of popular music performers including Williams work before he was with Columbia Records.

Williams got control of the Cadence master tapes in the 60s,but he limited releases of the Cadence material to that of himself and another former Cadence artist, Lenny Welch, to LPs that were released on Williams' current label at the time, Columbia Records.

In 1970, Williams created the Barnaby label to not only to release the rest of the long unreleased Cadence Archives (principally, that of the Everly Brothers, which had been long out of print but in continued great demand) but also new releases by new signings such as Ray Stevens (who scored a Top Ten hit with his single "Everything Is Beautiful"). Barnaby also released some early LPs by Jimmy Buffett well as a few LPs by Claudine Longet, who was Williams's wife at the time.

Barnaby had several distributors (first CBS, then MGM, before finally joining GRT in 1975). Once Barnaby ceased operating as a working record company at the end of the 1970s, Williams licensed the old Cadence and Barnaby material to various other labels such as Varèse Sarabande and Rhino, and Time-Life after 1980.
