Dreidel Records

Dreidel Recordings was an American record label founded in 1976 by Carl Andy which was distributed and funded in part by CBS Records, following his 1973 Columbia record Big Big Band and the release of the movie Toby, Andy signed a new deal with CBS that allowed him creative control and to establish a label of his own to be distributed by them, aside from handling his records, he also signed other artists and bands along the way such as Scottish New Wave group Taking Back Friday and Japanese pop idol Seiko Matsuda.

Following the failure of Astro Boy, Andy sold the label to Sony Music in 1989 (along with some active contracts to the main Columbia and Epic labels) and the division shut down with the release of Shalom Aleichem.
