Cameo-Parkway Records was the parent company of Cameo Records and Parkway Records, which were major American Philadelphia-based record labels from 1956 (for Cameo) and 1958 (for Parkway) to 1967. Among the types of music released were doo-wop, dance hits, popular/rock, rockabilly, big band, garage rock, soul and novelty records.
Until 1962 Cameo was also the parent company name for both labels, and Parkway was a subsidiary. In 1962 the parent company was renamed from Cameo to Cameo-Parkway, to give both labels equal status.
In some foreign markets Cameo-Parkway was also a label name, issuing records by artists from both labels.
Today the Cameo-Parkway catalogue is owned by ABKCO Records.

Famous quotes containing the word records:
“My confessions are shameless. I confess, but do not repent. The fact is, my confessions are prompted, not by ethical motives, but intellectual. The confessions are to me the interesting records of a self-investigator.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
