Profile
French label founded and owned by [a785678]. Also appears as "America" only. Started in 1959 with 7"s (and a few LPs) of US Rock & Roll, Doo Wop, Latin, Pop and Easy Listening music. Material was originally issued on labels [l54307], [l341491], [l129290], [l52031], [l527238], [l147821], [l33970], [l50959], [l97160], [l336315], ... Those reissues on [l60669] have no license mention and some of them were released under fake names, see for instance [url=https://www.discogs.com/Larry-Hall-A-Girl-Like-You-Rosemary-Sandy-LovinTree/release/8168205]here[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-Broken-Hearted-Melody-Sea-Of-Love-Thank-You-Pretty-Baby-Put-Your-Head-On-My-Shoulder/release/8766841]there[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/Marv-Meredith-And-His-Orchestra-Love-Invitation/release/16083093]there[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/Conjunto-Gloria-Matancera-Cha-Cha-Cha-De-Cuba/release/6199204]there[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/Jack-Costanzo-Quiere-Cha-Cha-Cha/release/8355266]there[/url] and [url=https://www.discogs.com/Tito-Rivera-3-Jack-Costanzo-Mister-Cha-Cha-Cha-Hifi/release/6115195]there[/url]. There is also [url=https://www.discogs.com/Roy-Capone-Y-Su-Orquesta-Charleston/release/6063121]a Spanish release [/url] licensed by [l10584] with an [l60669] logo and a 1961 Depósito Legal. First period of America Records ended not long after. 7"s of this period can be found on this page under catalog number M ## / 45 M ## or S ## / 45 S ##, LPs are under catalog number 30 S 10##. The label was reactivated in 1968 after [a785678] had started [l10584] label in the mean time. [l60669] issued then [a252102], folk and mostly jazz records licensed from [l1329]. Plus, [a209573] produced free jazz, blues and funk releases. That's the main part of the [l60669] catalogue. That ended ca. late 70s but there was one more reactivation of the label late 80s for a few jazz-rock CDs. And 15 free jazz [a209573] productions were reissued in 2004 on classy [l279284] series. Note: Some LPs were issued on several versions. Rights society (BIEM or SACEM), printer, price code and label layout can help to differentiate.
