French label founded and owned by Philippe Thomas. Also appears as "America" only.
Started in 1959 with 7"s (and a few LPs) of US Rock & Roll, Doo Wop, Latin, Pop and Easy Listening music.
Material was originally issued on labels Zenith International, ...
Those reissues on there.
There is also America Records logo and a 1961 Depósito Legal. First period of America Records ended not long after.
7"s of this period can be found on this page under catalog number M ## / 45 M ## or S ## / 45 S ##, LPs are under catalog number 30 S 10##.
The label was reactivated in 1968 after America Records catalogue.
That ended ca. late 70s but there was one more reactivation of the label late 80s for a few jazz-rock CDs.

Note: Some LPs were issued on several versions. Rights society (BIEM or SACEM), printer, price code and label layout can help to differentiate.
