RECORDS
Buddah was formed in 1967 by Art Kass as an offshoot of Kama Sutra Records. Record executive Neil Bogart was brought in, as were producers Jeff Katz and Jerry Kasenetz; the result was the birth of Bubblegum Pop, via the Ohio Express, the Lemon Pipers, the 1910 Fruitgum Company, etc. Product from this era was issued on Polydor Records in Britain, the Buddah label as such only making its appearance in 1968. Buddah continued to prosper in the next decade: 1970 saw the arrival of singer / songwriter Melanie; and Gladys Knight and the Pips were signed from Motown in 1973 and became the label's most successful group. In Britain Buddah appeared First on the scene was a black label, which for some reason featured a picture of Shiva rather than the Buddha. Early Polydor Buddahs were numbered in the 201-000s; this was changed to a 2011-000 series in 1970 when that company adopted seven-figure catalogue numbers for all its products. The discography below covers the years 1968-70, and has lots of gaps; some of them are down to the fact that the numbers were used for releases overseas. Recordings from 1967/1968 were issued on Pye International in Britain until the Buddah label made its appearance in 1968. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info. Manufactured By Polydor Records And Distributed By Pye International Records.
