Comstock

Comstock Records was founded in 1968 by music producer and entrepreneur Bob Kimmel in the United States. Initially focused on folk and rock music, the label gained prominence in the 1970s by signing notable artists such as the folk-rock band The New Seekers and singer-songwriter John Denver. Comstock expanded its catalog to include a diverse range of genres, including country and pop, reflecting the evolving musical landscape of the era. Throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, Comstock continued to release successful albums, though it faced increased competition from larger labels. The label's influence waned in the following decades, but it maintained a reputation for nurturing emerging talent. Today, Comstock is remembered for its contributions to the folk and rock genres, as well as its role in promoting artists who shaped the sound of American music during its active years.
