Ju-Par Records Ltd.
Soul, funk, and disco label founded by John Juney Garrett and Richard Parker, that was active between 1976 and 1978.
Garrett and Parker worked with Bill Sheppard and his group Flavor in 1976, manufacturing and distributing the resurrection of Sheppard's Bunky Records Inc. label, as well as a disco/funk group called the Ju-Par Universal Orchestra. Ju-Par was doing their own manufacturing and distribution from their location at 13801 West 8-Mile Road, Detroit. Both Flavor and the Ju- Par Universal Orchestra seemed to be generating interest, so Garrett and Parker signed a one-year deal with the Motown Record Corporation for distribution of their label. Motown reissued the Ju-Par Universal Orchestra album as well as an album by Flavor. A third album, an eponymous offering by the group Sly, Slick And Wicked, was the last one distributed by Motown before Ju-Par resumed independent distribution.
