American label founded around 1950 in Gallatin, Tennessee.
Dot Records was sold to Paramount Pictures in 1957 (and adopted a version of the Paramount logo which it used on 45 RPM single sleeves and album covers; the company had relocated to Hollywood by 1956). Gulf+Western Industries bought Paramount in 1968, placed its operation under its Famous Music publishing unit and changed the Dot label design. The G+W-era Paramount logo started appearing on Dot albums about at record number DLP-25852. The back catalog to date was deleted once the Famous Music administration began. Dot reissues subsequently appeared on theParamount Records and Famous Records labels. Gulf+Western sold its record operation to ABC in late 1973 which absorbed the catalog and labels into ABC Dunhill Records.
Billed itself in the 1950s and 1960s as having "The Nation's Best Selling Records". Though its biggest stars included Pat Boone and bandleaders Billy Vaughn and Lawrence Welk (who left the label with his back catalog after the 1968 sale of the company), a number of significant early rock and roll, surf (The Surfaris) and doo-wop singles were released on Dot, often under license from outside producers.
