Carlton Records

Carlton Records was a record label based in New York City that was formed by former RCA Records A&R head Joe Carlton in 1957. Guaranteed Records was a sublabel of Carlton.[1] Carlton Records lasted until 1964. The most notable recording artists on Carlton included Jack Scott, Anita Bryant, and Paul Evans. After Carlton Records went bankrupt in 1964[2], Joe Carlton held positions at ABC-Paramount Records and Columbia Records.[3] He eventually became president of the Command Records unit of ABC Records in 1968.[4][5] When ABC Records moved to Los Angeles, Carlton resigned as he stayed in New York and co-founded Organic Productions in 1970.[6][7] By the late 1970s, he was with Almo Music.[8]
