Ranwood Records was started in 1968 by Randy Wood (after he left Dot Records) together with Lawrence Welk.[1] Ranwood acquired Welk's Coral Records and Dot Records catalog for reissue on Ranwood.[2][3] Most of Welk's recorded musical output from that point on was released on the Ranwood label. Welk acquired Wood's interest in the label in 1979. During the mid 1980s, the label was folded into the larger umbrella Welk Music Group, which also acquired the folk and bluegrass labels Vanguard and Sugar Hill.
