In summer 1968, Transamerica Corporation purchased all of the Liberty labels including World Pacific. Liberty and the rest of the labels were folded in with the United Artists Records label, also owned by Transamerica.
United Artists did reissue World Pacific material in the 1970's.
The label was revived in the early 90s by Capitol Records, Inc. and sometimes carries the notation "A Blue Note Label".
