Ode Records)

Ode Records was a record label started by Lou Adler in 1967 after he sold his first label, Dunhill, to ABC. For its first two years, Ode was distributed by CBS and affiliated label Epic. In 1970, Adler struck a distribution deal with A&M Records that lasted until 1976. Following that, Ode was distributed by CBS until 1978. In 1981, the Shock Treatment Soundtrack was released and distributed by Warner Brothers.

In 1989, Adler once again brought his material to A&M, with the expanded title "Ode Sounds and Visuals." Adler retained the rights to Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment, which both had releases via Rhino in 1990. Current affiliations for older Ode product include CBS (for Carole King), Warner Bros (For Cheech and Chong) with other product distributed by Interscope and UMe (Universal Music Entertainment).
