American record label specializing in folk recordings founded by Guggenheim heiress Diane Hamilton and run with Pat Clancy. Active from 1955 to 1966, when it was sold to Everest, becoming Tradition Everest. Acquired by Rykodisc in the early 1990s, who reissued many titles using the Tradition label, and again in the mid-2000s by Empire Musicwerks.
Also written as Tradition Recordings, Tradition Records (3)
Note: Check the label and text on the bottom of the rear sleeve or the label to identify Tradition Everest re-issues - many used the original cover art and so appear, at first glance, to be released on Tradition/Tradition Records (3)/Tradition Recordings but are actually released by Tradition Everest.
