Command Records (originally Command Performance Records) was a record label founded by Enoch Light in 1959. It was an early audiophile label, aiming to produce recordings of superior quality, and Command's albums were recorded optically onto 35mm film. The records came in quality gatefold sleeves, several of them featuring abstract artwork by German-American artist Josef Albers.
Command was independent for less than a year, as ABC Records (then Am-Par Record Corporation) purchased all labels from Enoch Light in October 1959, including Command Records. As an ABC subsidiary, Command and Enoch Light were thriving in the early 1960s, until Enoch Light left to found his new Project 3 label. The Command label was faded out by ABC in 1970, but brought back to life with the rise quadraphonic records, which were issued on the ABC Command label.
