ATCO Records is an American
record label founded in 1955. It is owned by
Warner Music Group and operates as an
imprint of
Atlantic Records.[1][2] After several decades of dormancy and infrequent activity under alternating Warner Music labels, the company was relaunched by Atlantic Records in early 2020.
History
1950s–1960s: Beginnings
ATCO Records was devised as an outlet for productions by one of Atlantic Records' founders,
Herb Abramson, who had returned to the company from military service.[3] The label was also intended as a home for acts that did not fit the format of the main Atlantic brand, which was releasing
blues,
jazz,
rhythm and blues and
soul. The ATCO name is an abbreviation of ATlantic COrporation. ATCO also provided distribution for other labels, including
RSO,
Volt,
Island,
Modern,
Ruthless,
Hansa and
Rolling Stones. For most of its history, ATCO was known for
pop and
rock music, but during its early years, it produced some
jazz albums. These included
Harry Arnold,
Betty Carter,
King Curtis,
Herb Geller,
Roland Hanna, and
Helen Merrill.[4]
In 1964, ATCO released a single in the US by
The Beatles, "
Ain't She Sweet" (flip side "Nobody's Child", with lead singer
Tony Sheridan), which had been recorded in
Hamburg in 1961. With lead vocals by
John Lennon, "Ain't She Sweet" reached No. 19 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1964. ATCO also released an album entitled Ain't She Sweet which featured the other two tracks by Sheridan and The Beatles from the Hamburg session and filled out by eight other songs covered by
The Swallows.
In 1966, ATCO released "
Substitute" by
The Who. The song was issued through an arrangement with UK
Polydor Records because of the dispute The Who was having with their producer,
Shel Talmy, and their contract with US
Decca Records and UK
Brunswick Records. This would be the only Who recording to appear on ATCO, although
Pete Townshend and
John Entwistle would eventually sign to ATCO as solo artists,[3] and
Roger Daltrey later signed a US solo deal with Atlantic. This release differs from the UK release with a different structure/edit (the break comes in after the first verse vs. second), a substitute lyric (“I try walking forward but my feet walk back” in place of “I look all white but my dad was black”)
1970s–1980s: Downsizing
During the 1970s, Atlantic Records began to broaden the range of its own roster, causing ATCO to become deemphasized as many of its acts would eventually have their material released under the main Atlantic brand. In the middle 1970s, ATCO became increasingly used for hard rock acts and some British and European bands. During this time, the label issued early albums from
AC/DC. Starting in 1978, however, AC/DC releases were issued on Atlantic until their contract with the label ended in the 1990s. In 1980, ATCO's visibility rose with strong chart performances from Pete Townshend's Empty Glass album and the song "
Cars" by
Gary Numan. As the 1980s wore on, ATCO continued to have streamlined success with artists such as
Sweet Sensation,
JJ Fad and
Michel'le (the latter who were signed to the label in conjunction with Ruthless Records), while steadily becoming less active overall.
1990s: Merger with EastWest Records America and dormancy
The last
number one hit on ATCO was "
If Wishes Came True" by Sweet Sensation in 1990. The following year, Atlantic Records Senior VP
Sylvia Rhone orchestrated the merger of ATCO with Atlantic's fledgling
EastWest Records America label and briefly operated the combination as Atco/EastWest Records. By 1994, however, the ATCO name was dropped and the label reverted to the EastWest Records America branding. During this time, EastWest moved its operations to Atlantic's sister label
Elektra Records. As a result of Elektra's takeover of EastWest, ATCO's back catalog and retained artists were now under its control. In the decade to come, the ATCO name and logo would be occasionally used on reissues of past material, but the imprint itself was now dormant.[3]
2020s: Return to Atlantic Records and second relaunch
In 2020, ATCO returned to the aegis of Atlantic Records, where it was relaunched. On February 14,
Billboard Magazine announced that Atlantic Records President of A&R Pete Ganbarg was appointed president of the newly relaunched ATCO Records.[5] Ganbarg's first ATCO signing is Philadelphia-based alternative act Zero 9:36.
