Avco Records was a record label started in 1968 by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and Joseph E. Levine as Avco Embassy Records. In the late 1960s, they released a psychedelic rock album by the group Bead Game, titled Welcome. The Embassy name was dropped in 1971 making the label Avco Records. Avco's best known artists were the r&b/soul groups the Stylistics & Little Anthony & The Imperials.
Hugo & Luigi acquired the rest of the label which was then renamed H&L Records. In 1978, H&L Records filed for bankruptcy. In 1984, Amherst Records, Inc. of Buffalo, New York acquired the AVCO/H&L Records catalog.
