	Luther Allison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Allison was signed to the Delmark Records label in fall 1967 and the following year his debut album Love Me Mama was released.
		He also toured nation-wide and, in 1972, was signed to Motown Records, one of the few blues artists to do so.
		Alligator Records founder, Bruce Iglauer, convinced Allison to return to the States.

	CMT.com : Bob Koester : Biography
		Delmark started to make its presence felt during the blues revival of the early '60s, as Koester helped locate and record major names like Sleepy John Estes, Roosevelt Sykes, and Yank Rachell.
		Delmark enjoyed an upswing in activity during the latter half of the '90s, with new artists like Dave Specter and Lurrie Bell, as well as CD reissues of many of the label's past classics.
		Nonetheless, Delmark was able to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2003, earning Koester numerous local honors and attention from the NARAS; by this time, he had already been inducted into the Blues Foundation's Blues Hall of Fame.

	Music: Koester's Mark (Newcity Chicago . 02-08-99)
		Congratulations should be directed towards his baby, Delmark Records, which is celebrating its 45th year.
		Sitting in the Delmark office at 4121 North Rockwell near the corner of Western and Irving Park, Koester's world is far different from when the label, the store and related musical activities all existed under one roof.
		Down the hall there is the warehouse, a listening room, rooms filled with the master tapes of countless recording sessions and even a studio where jazz singer Francine Griffin and engineer Paul Serrano are listening to her forthcoming Delmark release.

	Music: A Cultural Imperative (Austin Chronicle . 12-20-98)
		Delmark has also purchased and re-released great material from other labels, including Apollo, which recorded Coleman Hawkins with Dizzy Gillespie doing some of his first fully evolved bop trumpet playing, United, which provided some great efforts by the criminally neglected alto saxophonist Tab Smith, and Transition, which had some great Sun Ra in their vaults.
		Delmark's output mirrors the broad musical interests of owner Bob Koester who founded the label in 1953 while a student at St. Louis University; the company was originally called Delmar, after a street in that city.
		Small labels like Delmark are vitally important in today's music scene, because they put out work by unknown artists that the big labels won't risk taking a risk on.

	Blues Access: Bob Koester
		It's been a long time since Delmark Records was a one-man operation and he had to do everything, but the dean of Chicago blues and jazz recording still works a six-and-a-half-day work week and continues to ungrudgingly perform what he calls the "shit work" of the business.
		Delmark has benefited from the recent blues resurgence and has expanded both physically -- the Delmark House, with its 24-track studio, was purchased five years ago -- and in terms of its catalog, which is growing rapidly in both number and diversity.
		The young Koester was soon haunting local record bins and seeking out the occasional live show, and among the acts he recalls with enthusiasm are the Count Basie Orchestra with Jimmy Rushing, Lonnie Johnson and the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, whom he caught several times at a hall where whites had to sit in the balcony.

	Junior Wells - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wells moved to Chicago in 1948 and first made his mark at age 18 playing in Muddy Waters' band.
		He later worked with Buddy Guy in the 1960s and recorded for Delmark Records.
		His most memorable songs are "Messin' With the Kid" and "Little by Little," and his best-known album, 1965's Hoodoo Man Blues, which evokes the smoky atmosphere of the era's Westside Chicago blues bars.

	Alligator Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alligator Records is the Chicago-based independent record label set up by Bruce Iglauer with his own savings to record and produce his favorite band Hound Dog Taylor and The HouseRockers.
		He then stopped working at Delmark Records to concentrate fully on the band and his label.
		Today, Alligator Records is a top contemporary blues record label.

	The Memphis Flyer: Music Reviews - February 24 - March 1, 2000
		So it comes as no surprise that Delmark Records continues this standard of excellence even today, and the three releases at hand serve to confirm a sterling reputation.
		Blues Had a Baby is Bell’s fourth album for Delmark, and although it doesn’t quite capture the magic of his last one (the edgy Kiss of Sweet Blues), it’s still essential listening.
		Catch these three releases on Delmark to be reminded why the blues are important, and why it’s important to keep the true blues alive in America.

	WGBH Programs
		Recorded over two nights in the spring of 1971, the album caught the band at the height of its ferocity.
		Taylor and the band were allowed to record with the same beat-up guitars and ragged amps and at the same ear-splitting volume to which they were accustomed.
		Feeling encouraged, Iglauer would then go to distributors and say that he had two or three radio stations in their area spinning the record, and would they be willing to sell the new LP to stores for him.

		Had Bob Koester at Delmark Records not refused to record Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers back in 1971, Bruce Iglauer may never have ventured out on his own to establish Alligator Record.
		"Recording the earlier artists [on the label] was such an adventure because every one of those records could make or break the future of the company.
		The artists that I tend to think about the most are the early ones: That would be Hound Dog, and probably the first Son Seals album that I did, because he was completely unknown and that was considered a very big gamble.

	Blues Bytes Flashback
		United Records was the first successful fl-owned record company operated by Leonard Allen: tailor, retired policeman and one of exceptionally wide taste in music.
		Delmark records founder Bob Koester bought the United Records masters in July 1975 and is now making much of the material available on CD, including many previously unissued, recorded in studios which pioneered high fidelity recording.
		The United Records Story sampler provides an excellent overview of the character of the label's music, more swinging than on the rocking side of blues of the '50s, more urban than rural in feel.

	Delmark Records Announces 50th Anniversary "Saver Series"

		These 40-minute samplers are terrific introductions into the genres, artists, and catalogue of Delmark Records.
		Delmark was the first label to document this movement and today, almost 40 years later, the fire is still burning.

	Testament Records
		During that time I had recorded, first in my hometown of Philadelphia and then in Chicago where I moved at the beginning of 1962, a fair number of artists whose music, I felt, deserved to be heard.
		Through my friendship with Bob Koester, who was operating Delmark Records in Chicago, I saw what was involved in putting albums together and determined it was something I could do too.
		I was unable to record a whole album's worth of performances by the peripatetic Nighthawk but I did manage to do most of one in a session that resonates in my mind as perhaps the single finest one I was ever priveleged to do.

		For the second half of those 100 years, Bob Koester's Chicago-based Delmark Records has been recording and releasing some of the finest in blues and jazz.
		Recorded in 1950, the sounds of Little Walter cannot be re-captured even with the highest of modern technology.
		The facts that we live: in an era of economic uncertainty; in a time when downloading music is preferred over paying for it and in an era where blues music sales are scarce makes this particular anniversary an all around amazing one.

		Bob Koester, founder of the long-celebrated Chicago-based jazz and blues label Delmark Records, wasn't thinking in terms of longetivity when he created the label 50 years ago.
		Delmark's half-century milestone is just one cause for celebration at the 20th celebration of the Chicago Blues Festival.
		Founded in St. Louis in 1953, Koester, then in his early 20s, created Delmark to record a favorite area jazz outfit, the Windy City Six and moved to the real windy city five years later.

		Waters began recording for Aristocrat in September 1947, when he was entrusted with two sides at the tail end of a Sunnyland Slim session.
		His first appearance on record may have been as the guitarist on two sides that Sunnyland Slim did for the Opera label, under the pseudonym Delta Joe; these could have been done in December 1947, although a 1948 date can't be ruled out.
		By October 1948, when he recorded for Aristocrat with Tom Archia's All Stars, he was a regular member of Archia's group at the Macomba Lounge; he was still in residence there when he got the call for the Parkway session.

		Joe made important recordings by modern jazz pianist Elmo Hope, but his main business was releasing “party” records that were inescapably displayed in the windows of stores in Times Square.
