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.
