	Regarding Paramount Records \| MetaFilter
		Paramount Records, a Wisconsin company with studios in Port Washington and Grafton, was among the first to specialize in "race records," as African-American discs were called before World War II.
		Black Swan Records, then, was a radical experiment in the political economy of African American culture in the guise of musical entertainment and small-business development.
		The record company was about more than selling records, and the one-two punch of its uplift through music and business makes its brief history an important, revealing event in the African American political struggles of the twentieth century.

	Black Swan Records leaves the West Side - Vancouver Jazz Forum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The rumour mill has been working overtime with folks in the jazz community (and the record community) speculating on "what's going on with Black Swan Records" so I thought I'd put this note together to set the record straight.
		I don't think it's any secret that Black Swan Records has been struggling for a long time; in the eight years since the store moved to West Broadway from our second location on West 4th, the recording industry has undergone massive upheavals and nowhere has the competition been fiercer than in Vancouver.
