Kama Sutra Records was started in 1964 by Arthur "Artie" Ripp, Hy Mizrahi and Phil Steinberg as Kama Sutra Productions, a production house. In 1965, the company was joined by Art Kass and the record label itself was started. A distribution deal with MGM Records was later signed, which lasted from 1965 until 1969. From 1969 onward, distribution was then handled by co-owned Buddah Records. The record company ceased in mid-1976, but restarted in 1982 as Sutra Records. Under this moniker, Kass marketed and distributed Fever Records, Blue Dog Records, Baila Records, and signed and recorded the Cover Girls, the Fat Boys, and many more before the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1993. The Kama Sutra catalogue is now owned by Sony BMG Music Entertainment and managed by Legacy Recordings.
