Encyclopedia : K : KA : KAP : Kapp Records
Kapp Records was a record company started in 1955 by David Kapp, brother of Jack Kapp (who had set up American Decca Records in 1934). Kapp licensed its records to London Records for release in the UK. A subsidiary, Leader Records, was launched to release more "middle of the road" material, and Four Corners Records, with its "4 Corners of the World" logo, was launched to promote European artists like Françoise Hardy, Raymond Lefevre, and the Barclay Singers.
In 1967 David sold his label to MCA Records, in 1972 MCA released the last Kapp Record.
Artists on the Kapp label included Burt Bacharach, Cher, Jack Jones (singer) and the American releases of British rock acts The Searchers and Budgie.
