The label had ceased to exist after 1948 but not before providing some ultra rare rockin' R&B and jive from Luke Jones, The Four Vagabonds and Red Mack. The majority of these titles are making their world-wide CD debut and will no doubt help rekindle the collector market. Extensive liners by expert Dave Penny and rare photos explain the labels history.
