Paragon (10)

Canadian country music (primarily) label established by Allied Record Corporation in 1968 while Jack Boswell was President. ** Not to be confused with the earlier Canadian budget label: Paragon (20). ** For unofficial releases, see: Paragon (21). Ownership changed to Marathon Music Inc. in early 1971 when Boswell bought out the assets of Allied. Catalog numbers are shared with two other Canadian labels: Pentagon (4) and Marathon (3). For distribution credits, see Allied Record Corporation up to 1971 and Marathon Music Inc. 1971 and later. Note that some early 1972 releases still have the legacy Allied credit printed on packaging materials.
