International Artists

Regional label founded by music entrepreneur Fred Carroll in Houston, Texas. The first release was in October 1965, and the company filed for bankruptcy in April 1971. In the late 1970s, the label was revived by Lelan Rogers in Los Angeles to reissue records as well as archival and new material. In the 1980s, titles were leased to Charly Records in England, and eventually the rights were sold to them in the 1990s.
