Varèse Sarabande is a label that specializes in soundtracks. It was founded in 1978 by Tom Null, Chris Kuchler and Dub Taylor (3) in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. (In 1978, Tom Null's Sarabande Records merged with Varèse International to form Varèse Sarabande). The early LPs were reissues of classical recordings from the American Decca, Remington and JVC labels. The first soundtrack LP was released in 1978.

Varèse first began releasing CDs in 1983.

The European releases are manufactured and distributed by Colosseum Schallplatten GmbH, which changed its name to Colosseum Music Entertainment GmbH in 2006.

After being distributed by MCA (arranged in 1988 by then label head Richard Kraft) and its successor Universal Music for decades, in February 2018 the label was acquired by Concord Music and placed under Concord's reissue label Craft Recordings.
