Carnival Records was the name given to at least two record labels.

Carnival Records (1961–1962)

In 1961, Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss started a short-lived label that was the precursor to A&M Records. They released two singles. "Tell It to the Birds"/"Fallout Shelter" by Dore Alpert was distributed by Dot Records outside California.[1]

Carnival Records (1962–1983)

Jazz saxophonist Joe Evans set up Carnival Records label in the early 1960s and based it in New York and relocated in Newark, New Jersey, in 1963.[2] Releasing 63 singles and two albums,[3] the label focus was rhythm and blues and soul music. Joe Evans ran the label with a small staff that included his wife. The final record was released in 1983.[3]

Carnival's biggest success was The Manhattans, a band signed in August 1964.[4]

Carnival Records is exclusively represented by Westwood Music Group.
