ATCO
RECORDS

Independent label: American; a subsidiary of Atlantic, started up by Herb Abramson in 1957.  After the departure of its founder, in the late '50s, Atco was used as a repository for any kind of music that didn't fit in with its parent company's Blues/Jazz/Soul leanings.  It followed Atlantic everywhere, becoming part of Warner-Seven Arts, Kinney, WEA and lastly Time Warner.  The label survived until 1991, and was revived in 2006.
Atco was far bigger in the States than it was over here.  It made its first appearance as a label proper in Britain in 1969 and disappeared in 1972, during which time it issued around sixty singles.  The American distinction between musical genres wasn't observed in this country, and Rock and Soul artists alike could be found on Atco.   Numbering was initially in the 226-000s, but from early 1970 Atco and Atlantic singles shared a common 2091-000 series.  Manufacture and distribution were by Polydor.  The label surfaced again in 1980 as part of the WEA group, with a new design and catalogue numbers, this time in the K-10000s, were again shared with Atlantic. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
