For the malt liquor, see Private Stock (malt liquor).
Private Stock was a record label which was started in 1974 by Larry Uttal after he was ousted from Bell Records. The label had huge hits with singles by David Soul from Starsky and Hutch ("Don't Give Up on Us"), Starbuck ("Moonlight Feels Right"), Austin Roberts ("Rocky"), Samantha Sang ("Emotion"), Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band ("A Fifth of Beethoven"), and Frankie Valli ("My Eyes Adored You"). Blondie's eponymous debut album, which was not a commercial success at the time, was also originally issued on Private Stock in 1976. Singer-songwriter Tom Paxton's 1975 album, Something in My Life, was released by the label. Rupert Holmes' fourth album, Pursuit of Happiness, was also released by the label.
The label closed down in 1978.
