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 such as
Paint Your Wagon, among others. One notable artist signed on with the label was
The Brady Bunch, from the TV series of the same name.
