ATCO Records is an American record company and label
founded in 1955 as a division of Atlantic Records. It was
devised as an outlet for productions by one of Atlantic's
founders, Herb Abramson, who had returned to the company
from military service. It was also intended as a home for
acts that did not fit the format of Atlantic, 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
Records, Volt, Island, Modern, Ruthless, and Rolling
Stones Records.
