Avco Records was a record label started in the early 1960s by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and Joseph E. Levine. In the late 1960s, they released a psychedelic rock album by the group Bead Game, titled Welcome. Avco's best known artists were the r&b/soul groups the Stylistics & Little Anthony & The Imperials.
Hugo & Luigi went on to form 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.
