	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz Exchange - Race Records
		Record companies were eager to increase their markets, and even developed some non-musical recordings, including recorded sermons, gospel music, spirituals and comedy routines.
		By the time the recording industry got on its feet again in the mid-30s with the advent of crooners such as Bing Crosby and bandleader Benny Goodman, what had been known as "race" music was firmly ensconced in the center of the popular culture.
		Gradually, the majors began recording their own versions of the whatever hits the independents were lucky enough to have, and by the 50s, race recording labels became superfluous.

	Jazz History I - Women In Jazz
		In 1952, she began recording for jazz entrepreneur Norman Granz, owner of the excellent labels Clef, Norgran, and by 1956, Verve.
		The recordings returned her to the small-group intimacy of her Columbia work, and reunited her with Ben Webster as well as other top-flight musicians such as Oscar Peterson, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Charlie Shavers.
		Though the ravages of a hard life were beginning to take their toll on her voice, many of Holiday's mid-'50s recordings are just as intense and beautiful as her classic work.

	"Paramount Records - The Great Race Record Labels" CD Review
		While Paramount was not the first label to have what was known as a "Race" series (that dubious distinction went to Okeh - Volume 3 in the series), as Dave Moore points out in his liner notes; they may be closest to the hearts of Blues enthusiasts.
		Part of the success of the Paramount label came from the low-end retail price for their records and they were able to keep costs down by using inferior materials in pressing, which contributed to the higher surface noise.
		Dave Moore's liner notes also point to Paramount's disregard for its 'Race' artists by advertising them in a comical and patronizing way, and when the company closed up shop, nearly everything in the their files was destroyed; including the discs, session details, and more.

		Paramount Records, once located in Port Washington, Wisconsin, was established in 1917.
		While Paramount’s earliest releases were mainly white ethnic recordings, in the early 1920s Paramount entered the “race records” market, recording music, such as blues and gospel, directed towards a fl audience.

	The Wisconsin Blues
		Paramount has received the most attention because of its series devoted to blues and jazz, particularly label numbers 12000 — 13000.
		Paramount found no shortage of male blues singers, who tended to be folk artists, whose music was developed entertaining their isolated rural communities.
		The last blues recording for the label was made by Skip James; a legendary figure whose song, "I'm so glad", was the basis for a hit in the 1960s, by Eric Clapton's group Cream.

		Record executives, who had originally insisted in the early 1920s that radio could never become a substitute for recorded music, were increasingly whoring after the thriving medium.
		Paramount's decision to stop advertising records in the Chicago Defender (which ran its last company ad on April 26, 1330) was occasioned by a fall in its mail order revenues.
		The 21 sides they recorded (12 of which were issued) constituted one of the longest Grafton sessions, and would become the last of the 1500 recordings Paramount made at Grafton, which had resuIted in some 25O "race" records.

	PARAMOUNT RECORDS : PARAMOUNT'S RISE AND FALL, A History by Alex van der Tuuk (Mainspring Press)
		Their decision to launch Paramount Records in 1917 was almost an after-thought, a ploy to increase sales of Wisconsin Chair’s new phonographs.
		When Paramount failed to thrive with middle-of-the road fare in the early 1920s, a decision was made to plunge into a new and largely untested market: records by fl performers, marketed to fl buyers.
		For a decade, Paramount led the industry in discovering and recording pioneering blues artists— among them, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, Blind Blake, Skip James, and Charley Patton—despite questionable business practices and the notoriously poor sound quality of its records.

	S D Records
		The records remained in Steiner's catalog until at least 1952, as they are advertised in a booklet that was included with his first 10-inch LP release on Paramount CJS101.
		While Steiner was recording regularly at the Playhouse, he must have intended the next session for release on S D, because he got George Hoefer to announce it in print.
		The line was derived from several sources, but most of it came from the recordings that Steiner and Davis (and later, just Steiner) had done in the 1940s for S D. There were two jazz releases on other number series: one in the Paramount 200s and one in the S D 1000s.

	ABC-Paramount Records Story
		The Am-Par Record Corporation was formed in New York City in 1955, as a subsidiary of American Broadcasting-Paramount Theaters, Inc. The record label was called ABC-Paramount.
		ABC-Paramount leased the record and released it on their Apt Record subsidiary and it also became a number one hit that summer.
		Price had hit in 1952 with Specialty records with "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." Price's career at Specialty was cut short when he was drafted into the US Army soon after, but upon getting out of the Army in 1956, Price moved to Washington D.C. and formed his own record label, KRC (Kent Record Company).

	Current rights to Paramount Records music? - www.ezboard.com
		I'm curious as to what company currently holds the rights to the material published under the label "Paramount Records" when it was owned by "Paramount Pictures" in the 60s and 70s.
		The packaging gives absolutely no clue as to who reissued it, as it's an exact reproduction of the original down to the "Paramount Records" label.
		As far as I know, the Paramount Records name is no longer held by Paramount Pictures.

		A relative of a former employee of Paramount Records, the great pre-war blues label, had in his possession a virtual mountain of original Paramount Records artwork including a 1930 Paramount promotional calendar that was mailed out to all of Paramount's customers/record distributors.
		Besides the calendar and all the record sleeve artwork (and posters) there was also a wealth of rare photos.
		Top priority is a 2004 Paramount Records calendar (a reissue of the rare 1930 one) and Yazoo Records will be producing an accompanying CD with tunes that match the various calendar photos.

		Surprisingly, the United Phonographs Corporation (not the New York Recording Laboratories, as might be expected) also filed the first trademark application on the Paramount brand on November 5, 1917, claiming use on records and machines from October 20 of that year.
		Puritan records were first mentioned in a Puritan phonograph advertisement in the Talking Machine World for May 15, 1918, shortly after the introduction of the Paramount label from which it derived.
		The Emerson Recording Laboratories (which at this time was recording masters for its own Emerson label as well as the Grey Gull group, Clover, Dandy, and other low-priced brands) became BDandM's primary supplier.
