Liberty Records was a United States-based record label. It was started by chairman Simon Waronker in 1955 with Alvin Bennett as president and Theodore Keep as chief engineer.

In 1957, Liberty acquired the jazz label, Pacific Jazz Records. In 1963, the Liberty Records label was sold to Avnet (an electronics corporation) for $12 million. Avnet also bought Blue Note Records, Imperial Records, Dolton Records, Aladdin Records and Minit Records. After two years of losses, Avnet sold the labels back to Al Bennett for $8 million. In 1966, a reissue label, Sunset Records, was started to deal with previously issued records from the new labels. Liberty recordings were first distributed in England by Decca Records on London Records, then by EMI, which released the recordings on the Liberty label. Liberty established a branch office in London, which signed acts such as the Bonzo Dog Band. Ron Kass, onetime president of Liberty Records, later became the head of the Beatles' record label, Apple Records.

In 1968, Liberty was bought for $38 million by Transamerica Corporation (an insurance company) and combined with their other label United Artmists Records. Transamerica was unfamiliar with the recording industry; Alvin Bennett was fired after six months and things evolved from bad to worse. The company shut down Dolton and transferred Dolton's artists to Liberty; later they shut down Imperial and Minit and transferred their artists to Liberty. Finally, in 1971, all releases were shifted to United Artists Records and Liberty Records was no more.

In 1978, Artie Mogull and Jerry Rubinstein acquired United Artists and Liberty Records (with money they borrowed from Capitol Records). In February of 1979, EMI foreclosed on them and has owned the rights of the Liberty labels since then.

Initially, EMI used Liberty to reissue the United Artists, Liberty and Imperial catalogues. From 1980 until 1984, Capitol used Liberty as a country label, featuring such artists as Kenny Rogers. In 1992, EMI renamed its Capitol-Nashville Records label to Liberty Records (featuring Garth Brooks), before switching back to the Capitol Nashville name three years later.

    Ricky Lynn Gregg in the news

    Riverside Speedway has its second NASCAR driver for next Saturday’s IWK 250.

    "Yay, me! The list of criminals in my administration is so long, I thought I'd just take care of it all in one file swipe," Bush shouted, apparently invoking yet another cute Bushism that might or might not refer, Freudian-slip style, to his love of either illegal wiretapping, Karl Rove's 'accidentally' deleted emails, or Lynne Cheney's secret....

    In this challenge of the heart, Backwood puts the kindness of Brad and Angelina (a.k.a. Brangelina) in making a home for stray children vs. Fred and Lynn Smith (a.k.a. Frynn) a sweet couple from Pahrump Valley, Nev. (what happens in Pahrump stays in Pahrump), who chose to take an injured owl under their wing.
