	London Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		London Records is a record label headquartered in the United Kingdom, originally marketing records in the United States, Canada and Latin America from 1947 through the 1980s.
		London arose from the split in ownership between the British branch of Decca Records and that same company's USA branch; the "London" label released British Decca records in the USA, since it could not use the "Decca" name there.
		The London label was also used by British Decca in the UK market to release American labels (such as Imperial Records, Chess Records, Dot Records, Atlantic Records, Specialty Records and Sun Records) which British Decca licensed.

		It's billed to Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers, though, as it's the ultimate collection of sides he recorded as a member of the group for Specialty Records, along with seven tentative secular pop/rock sides he did for the label as a solo singer in 1956.

	Guitar Slim - The Legends of Specialty Series Review
		After WWII Art Rupe created Specialty Records as one of the very first independent labels to concentrate on fl popular music.
		Guitar Slim was certainly one of these groundbreaking artists but maybe not as recognized because he passed long before many of us were even born, but certainly many artists we listen to today can trace their influences back to Guitar Slim.
		Specialty does something nice with the version of record I own by adding ten songs and on a few songs they even left some of the conversations between Slim and the producer a nice touch adding to the anthology feeling of the record.

	Review - VA: Specialty Records Greatest Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Art Rupe's LA based Specialty Records was formed to capitalize on the needs of a niche market that the major labels of the day chose to leave to indie operators.
		With the migration of African-American workers from the rural south to city factory work in the 40's and 50's, a new market for jump blues and other "race music" sounds was growing.
		If Specialty had only been the recording home of Little Richard, it would loom large enough in the history of rock, but with Liggins, Mayfield, Price, Sam Cooke's early secular sides, Roy Milton, Larry Milton and others pumping out sides for the label, the impact of Specialty can legitimately be termed monumental.
