Carlton Record Corporation

This is the company, for the label use Carlton The Carlton Record Corporation began in October, 1957, in New York, when the late Joe Carlton, a former A&R chief at RCA, set up offices at 157 W. 57th Street. It folded about 1964. The recordings sounded great, most were in stereo, but when the label ended, nobody knows what happened to the master tapes (other than the Anita Bryant tapes, which apparently were sold to Columbia). The legacy of this label is almost entirely in the issued product on vinyl, including many true stereo albums. If you have the stereo albums, consider yourself lucky. They almost never show up on CD that way, with the exception of the first Jack Scott LP, which was dubbed from disc.
