Command

Profile:
The Command (originally Command Performance) label was started by Enoch Light and George Schwager in 1959. The label recorded popular, classical and jazz music and was acquired by ABC-Paramount (later ABC Records in October 1959 along with all of Enoch Light's labels.

Command was operated as a audiophile record label producing records with exaggerated separation of the stereo tracks. The albums were packaged in high quality gatefold covers with distinctive abstract designs by Josef Albers.

Enoch Light left the Command label in 1966 to form the Project 3 Label. After Light left, the quality of the albums on Command deteriorated until they discontinued releasing new material in 1970. The Command name was used by ABC on quadrophonic reissues and special anthologies until 1976, when it was officially retired.
