- Dolton_Records abstract "Dolton Records was a record label based in Seattle that was originally known as Dolphin Records. It was owned by Bob Reisdorf and Bonnie Guitar. Success for the label came early with "Come Softly to Me" by The Fleetwoods, the first single to be released on that label. Reisdorf was soon informed that there was another Dolphin Records in circulation (which was a subsidiary of Laurie Records), so he changed the name to Dolton after the first release, the second release being an instrumental by The Frantics called "Straight Flush" b/w "Young Blues" (Dolton 2). The new label retained the fish symbols on the logo and the fonts associated with the Dolphin name. The first major hit on the newer Dolton label was The Fleetwood's "Mr. Blue", a number one hit, and the fifth single released by that company. Other major Dolton artists included The Ventures, Vic Dana, and The Frantics. It was acquired in 1963 by Avnet and merged with its Liberty Records parent label in 1966. Liberty had distributed Dolton releases when "Come Softly To Me" became a hit. Bonnie Guitar also recorded for the label, recording singles like "Candy Apple Red" (Dolton 10) in 1959. She had a country-pop crossover hit, "Dark Moon", in 1957, which had been released on Dot records.Liberty discontinued the Dolton label in 1967, transferring its artists to the parent label. The label's final single released was "Theme From The Wild Angels"/"Kickstand" (DOR-327) by The Ventures; theirs was also the final album released on Dolton, "Guitar Freakout" (BLP-2050/BST-8050).In the early '90s, EMI Records briefly reactivated the Dolton label by releasing a couple of CD compilations by The Ventures, using the early light-blue Dolton labels for the discs.".
