Description: Dolton Records was a record label based in Seattle that was originally known as Dolphin Records. It was initially owned by Bob Reisdorff and Bonnie Guitar. Success for the label came early with "Come Softly to Me" by the Fleetwoods, the first single to be released on that label. Reisdorf was soon informed that there was another Dolphin Records in circulation (which was a subsidiary of Laurie Records), so he changed the name to Dolton after the first release, the second release being an instrumental by the Frantics called "Straight Flush" b/w "Young Blues" (Dolton 2). The new label retained the fish symbols on the logo and the fonts associated with the Dolphin name.

Made for guitarists with a dark sense of humor, horror fanatics, and anyone whose playlist jumps from Black Sabbath to horror movie scores. Fits the record-store-shelf vibe whether you actually play or just have strong opinions about tone. Printed on black. Distressed, faded ink aesthetic, no text, just the Count doing what he does best.
