Tico Records
Profile:
Hugely influential Latin label founded in 1948 by George Goldner, responsible for breaking such artists as Ray Barretto and Tito Puente and many classic Latin releases.
In late 1955 Goldner sold half his interest in Tico Records, (along with his labels Rama and Gee) to the partnership of Joe Kolsky and Morris Levy. In January 1957 they formed Roulette Records with Levy as president but, by April, Goldner sold out his interest in the four labels.
Tico Records was sold to Fania Records in 1974 and made its last release in 1981.
Tico Records back catalog was managed by Roulette from Jan 1957 and by Fania from 1974.
LP-xxxx releases are mono, SLP-xxxx are stereo.
