Warwick Records (US)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warwick Records was a record label that was established in 1959 with Morty Craft as president. Early labels were maroon with silver print and then became red with black print. The first 150 or so releases bore the text "A Division of United Telefilm Records, Inc" until somewhere in 1961 this changed to show the company as part of Seven-Arts Record Productions.

Best selling artists on the label were Johnny and the Hurricanes ("Red River Rock", "Beatnik Fly"), The Fireballs ("Quite A Party"), and The String-A-Longs ("Wheels", "Brass Buttons"). Warwick filed for bankruptcy in 1962.
