Atco Records began as a subsidiary of Creator/AtlanticRecords (its name derives from '''At'''lantic Recording '''Co'''rporation) that was founded in 1955. For a while, it was a repository for any act that didn't fit the parent label's emphasis on {{Soul}}, {{Blues}} and {{Jazz}}, but this gradually changed. The Coasters and Music/BobbyDarin were Atco's first hitmakers; its roster during TheSixties included Music/SonnyAndCher, Music/IronButterfly, Music/BuffaloSpringfield, and Vanilla Fudge. Starting with UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion and continuing into TheSeventies and TheEighties, the label became the American licensee for English acts such as Music/{{Cream}}, Music/TheBeeGees, Music/{{Genesis|Band}}, Music/RoxyMusic, and Music/GaryNuman.

In TheNineties, Atco was wound down, and due to corporate dealings within its parent company Creator/WarnerMusicGroup, its catalog was controlled by Creator/ElektraRecords for a while. Starting in 2006, the label has been sporadically revived as a division of Rhino Entertainment; its releases during this era include new albums by Music/NewYorkDolls, Music/JeffBeck, Music/{{Queensryche}}, Creator/ScarlettJohansson, and Art Garfunkel, as well as the soundtrack album to Creator/KevinSpacey's Bobby Darin {{Biopic}} ''Film/BeyondTheSea''.
