'''Cadet Records''' was an American [[record label]] that began as [[Argo Records]] in 1955 as the [[jazz]] subsidiary of [[Chess Records]]. Argo changed its name in 1965 to Cadet to avoid confusion with the [[Argo Records (UK)|similarly named label]] in the UK.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HSkEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22chess+withdraws+argo+name%22&pg=PA10 |title=Billboard |date=1965-10-09 |access-date=2013-07-22}}</ref> Cadet stopped releasing records around 1974, when its artists were moved to Chess.

There was also '''Cadet Concept Records''', for rock and more adventurous music, such as the [[Rotary Connection]], and the experimental psychedelic ''[[Electric Mud]]'' album by [[Muddy Waters]]. The label had a Top 20 hit in 1968 with the single "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by the British band [[Status Quo (band)|Status Quo]] through a licensing arrangement with [[Pye Records]] in London. A St. Louis band known as The Truth a.k.a. The Acid Sette were signed and recorded for this label under the guidance of Abner Spector.

The [[audio mastering|masters]] are now owned by [[Universal Music]].

==Discography (1965–1975)==
===Continuation of the Argo 600 Jazz Series===
Cadet was established in 1965 following a name change of the [[Argo Records|Argo]] label. When the name was changed, a new logo of a chessman's horse was introduced to replace the previous chess piece logo.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cohodas |first1=Nadine |title=Spinning Blues Into Gold: The Chess Brothers and the Legendary Chess Records |date=2001 |publisher=Macmillan |pages=256 |isbn=978-0-312-28494-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H_GSnevobp4C&q=cadet+&pg=PA256}}</ref> Cadet continued the Argo 600 Jazz series and the 4000 Blues series.<ref name=BSN1>[https://www.bsnpubs.com/chess/cadet.html Both Sides Now: Cadet Album Discography (1965-1971)] accessed September 18, 2019</ref>
