Kuckuck Schallplatten (engl.: Cuckoo Records) is a German record label founded in August 1969 by Eckart Rahn, Mal Sondock and the advertising agency ConceptData in Munich, growing out of his music-publishing company E.R.P. Musikverlag, which was founded on April 1, 1968. It was distributed by Deutsche Grammophon (Polydor). It is the first German progressive rock label. After being purchased by Celestial Harmonies, it is now the longest-surviving independent label in Germany. Most of its recordings have been reissued on CD, and all are now available as downloads.
Some early releases by Kitaro were licensed to the label through Pony Canyon Inc. of Tokyo, Japan.
