Panton Records

Panton Records or PANTON was a Czechoslovak and later Czech record label and music publishing house of the Czech Music Fund, founded in 1968.

In Czechoslovakia it was one of the three major state-owned labels, the other two being Supraphon and Opus.

It was active until mid-1990s. Now its musical catalogue belongs to Supraphon.[1]

Around the year 1998 Panton published a Czech record LP and SP boards (published at that time, and classical CDs). Genre was the music of all styles (country, folk, tramp, jazz, jazz-rock, etc.), which contributed to the development of musical culture in Czechoslovakia. The profits came mainly from the sale of works from popular music and helped finance the loss-making of works by contemporary composers of classical music. Panton published and spoken boards, e.g. Recording memories Werich The Talk (interview with daughter Jana ) or the album of author Jiří Grossmann and Miloslav Šimek (The Days of Shimk and Grossmann). It also published several books (e.g. Booklet (1986) and Another book (1991) by Jiří Suchý.
