Mala Records was a small record label founded as a Bell Records subsidiary in 1959.[1][2] Beginning in 1967, albums by Mala recording artists were issued on the Bell label instead of Mala.[3] Along with Bell, Mala was acquired in the late sixties by Columbia Pictures and merged with the co-owned Amy Records into Bell Records.
