PARACHUTE
RECORDS
Independent American, from Los Angeles
label: Parachute Records was was founded by Russ Regan - formerly
president of 20th Century Records - in partnership with Casablanca
Records. It issued records from the summer of 1977 into 1979, and its
catalogue seems to have concentrated upon dance music. When the agreement
with Casablanca expired, in 1979, Regan resigned from his post as president and
the label was discontinued. In Britain, Parachute came on the scene
towards the end of 1977 and issued fewer than a dozen singles. Despite the
fact that most of them appear to have enjoyed some kind of Chart action in
America they failed to repat that success here. Pye handled manufacture
and distribution, as it did for parent label Casablanca during that
period. Numbering was in the RRS-500s, and promos were marked in the Pye
style of that period - with a large black central 'A'. Thanks to
