CAP Latino

A Capitol Records affiliate which began around March 1969 and was the distributor for recordings from Mexico obtained through Capitol's Mexico operations and through EMI licensees to key markets in the US (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Miami and Puerto Rico). It was administrated by Tower Records personnel and operated by it's own creative director, Osvaldo Venzor. Eddie Ray (Tower's A&R director) developed the artist contracts brought in by Venzor. Venzor reported directly to Bill Tallant, VP of Capitol's Subsidiary Corporations. It premiered in Puerto Rico around August 1969.
