Back Beat Records was launched in 1957 as the Houston-based soul sub-label of Duke Records, when it was managed by Don Robey. Back Beat was acquired by ABC Records on May 23, 1973. The label's biggest hits included "Treat Her Right" by Roy Head & The Traits, "Tell Me Why" by Norman Fox & The Rob-Roys, and "Everlasting Love" by Carl Carlton. In 1976, ABC discontinued the Back Beat label.
499 is a bootleg and was never issued by Back Beat Records.
