1	Buddah Records (later known as Buddha Records) was an American record label formed in 1967 out of Kama Sutra Records, which was distributed by Creator/MGMRecords. Although they started off with a bit of an avant-garde orientation (releasing the first two albums by Music/CaptainBeefheart, for example), the label quickly became known for bubblegum pop acts like 1910 Fruitgum Company and Ohio Express, as masterminded by flamboyant label chief Neil Bogart (who'd had a minor TeenPop hit as a singer himself, 1961's "Bobby", under the name Neil Scott). After bubblegum's popularity declined around 1970, the label branched out into other genres. Buddah was very successful - they released over 100 charting singles, with one-fifth of their releases charting at their peak. They would distribute records from other independent labels like Creator/{{Charisma\|Records}}, Curtom and T-Neck Records. They stopped releasing new music in 1983. The label's catalogue was sold to BMG in 1993, becoming BMG's reissue label (following the example of Creator/RhinoRecords), though with a corrected spelling of the label name. Buddha is currently handled by Creator/SonyMusicEntertainment.
