  Silvertone Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The oldest Silvertone Records was a record label manufactured for Sears Roebuck, and Co. for sale in their chain of department stores and through mail order.
Early releases were single-sided lateral-cut gramophone records; in the late 1910s double-sided discs began to be released.
Most discs were manufactured by Columbia Records, while some were made by Paramount Records and Gennett Records.

 About Silvertone
Utilising a Silvertone Mark 1 proportional transmitter, the chair was actually a prototype dual control (buddy box) system with the chair control pots wired directly into the encoder.
The Silvertone keyboard is to this day still used in almost every R/C club in Australia and has since been declared the Australian National Standard Frequency Control System.
All Mark 22 transmitters and receivers are now rated for 10kHz operation in preparation for the introduction of this frequency spacing in early 2002, thereby maintaining the long tradition of being in the forefront of developments in narrow band operations in Australia.

However, the band was never able to capitalize on the promise of their first album, waiting five years before they released their second record and slowly disintegrating in the year and half after its release.
By the fall of 1988, the band secured a contract with Silvertone Records and released "Elephant Stone," a single that set the band's catchy neo-psychedelic guitar-pop in stone.
For the next two years, the band fought Silvertone Records while they allegedly prepared the follow-up to their debut album.

However, sales of their two albums for Sire Records, Stutter in 1986 and Strip-Mine in 1988, were disappointing and, at the time Madchester hit, the band was using t-shirt sales to fund its own releases through Rough Trade Records.
This didn't chart, but was well received and the band were looking like they were on the brink of being the biggest thing in the country by the time they release their eponymous debut album (produced by John Leckie) in March.
James, Inspiral Carpets, 808 State and The Charlatans continued to record, with varying degrees of success, during the 1990s, but ceased to be seen as part of a localised scene.

 The Stone Roses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In their early days the Roses had an aggressive, punky sound, and their influences ranged from The Clash and The Sex Pistols to Manchester band Slaughter and the Dogs.
Released in 1987 on FM Revolver records, "Sally Cinnamon" contained chiming guitar hooks and a strong melody, and sounded more like The Byrds than the Pistols.
Eventually they wrangled themselves out of their contract with Silvertone and signed a large contract with Geffen Records.

 TAXI A&R Interview: Jeff Fenster, Jive / Silvertone Records
It is very, very common now in the rap world, and has almost become necessary, that for a new artist to be successful, that artist must be associated in some way with other artists that have already been successful.
Silvertone is a label that started as kind of a roots rock-oriented label, signing people like Buddy Guy and John Mayall.
They are selling records without that much going on because they have that street appeal.

He was also one of Chess Records early stars and has served as a mainstay for Silvertone Records in the 1990's and the new millennium where he has received numerous gold records and Grammy Awards.
As the king of electric guitar blues and the Chicago sound, the release of Sweet Tea on Silvertone Records marks a dramatic change for Buddy Guy as he seeks to meld his electric Chicago blues with the "new" electric blues of the Mississippi Hill Country.
Of the nine songs recorded for Sweet Tea, four are written by the late Junior Kimbrough one each by T-Model Ford, Cedell Davis and Robert Cage; and one co-written by Jimmy McCracklin and the late Lowell Fulson.

 BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - Stone Roses
A contract with the Silvertone Records label in 1988 produced "Elephant Stone", and showed its makers to have grasped the essence of classic 60s pop.
As if this was not enough, Stone Roses were back in court when they tried to leave Silvertone, who took an injunction out against their valuable protégés.
The tour they undertook in late 1995 dispelled any further gossip about loss of form or break-ups and nudged them back into the minds of critics who were beginning to see the band in a less than favourable light.

Applying his formidable chops and soulful voice to this unlikely repertoire, Guy has crafted what may be his most exciting and dramatic record since his 1991 Silvertone bow "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues," which re-established him internationally.
According to Michael Tedesco, director of Silvertone Records North America, "Sweet Tea" was an attempt to break the mold for Guy's albums, which for a decade has involved pairing the singer/guitarist with established rock, pop, and blues performers and songwriters.

Musically, I was reminded of some early Tommy McLennan records where he played in that particular key and used that sort of structure.
To capture that feel I played a Big Maceo record to Bobby and Dave McNair and they were able to pick up on the sound of the piano and guitar.
They did best to capture that flavor, especially the way the acoustic piano was recorded." In keeping with such memorable Bluesbreakers' recordings as "Nature's Disappearing", "The Laws Must Change" and "Accidental Suicide", "Remember This" provided a platform for Mayall to voice some social observations that were close to his heart.
