  • Dot Records is een Amerikaans platenlabel, opgericht in 1950 door Randy Wood. Wood had na de Tweede Wereldoorlog samen met een vriend een radiohersteldienst in Gallatin. Daar verkochten ze ook platen, wat voor Wood aanleiding was om in 1947 te beginnen met een eigen platenwinkel, "Randy's Record Shop" in Gallatin, en met een postorderbedrijf van grammofoonplaten. Dankzij dagelijkse reclamespots op het radiostation WLAC in Nashville (Tennessee), zou die binnen drie jaar uitgroeien tot een van de grootste ter wereld. (nl)
