Pickwick/33 Records

Profile

An American subsidiary budget label of [l=Pickwick International, Inc.], commonly manufactured by [l=Keel Mfg. Corp.] The label brand was launched in the spring of 1965, when Pickwick had a new deal with [l=Capitol Records] for their unused back catalog, as mentioned in "Billboard", March 6, 1965, page 3. Even in the beginning, the label used licenses of [l=Capitol Records], [l=Warner Bros. Records], [l=Reprise Records], [l=Everest], [l=ABC-Paramount], [l=Roulette Records] and other labels. The label was in use until circa 1977, when the company was sold to the American Can Company. The main activity of the Pickwick/33 label was to bring high-quality "Re-Releases" from the libraries of many distinguished major and independent recording companies. Label Code: [b]LC 00307[/b]
