Hip-O Records is a record label, currently part of Universal Music Group, which specializes in reissues and compilations. They are currently in the midst of releasing the Complete Motown Singles, a series of twelve box sets which include both sides of every 45 from Motown Records and its subsidiaries during that company's Detroit era. Their catalog also includes a number of previously unreleased albums and compilations from the Motown vaults. The name is a play on the word "hip" and the already-existing Rhino Records.
Similar companies include Rhino Records and Legacy Recordings.
