The label was created to feature many different genres; the mid-1970s success of The Kendalls gave Ovation an image as a country music label, although it continued to record rock and pop.[1]
In the early to mid 1970s most Ovation LPs were released in a 4-channel matrix quadraphonic format, which was also compatible with conventional 2-channel stereo playback systems. The label initially used the EV or Stereo-4 matrix but later changed to QS Regular Matrix.
The Ovation Records product was acquired by global rights management company 43 North Broadway, LLC.[2]
