	Brunswick Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Records under the "Brunswick" label were first produced by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company (a company based in Dubuque, Iowa which had been manufacturing products ranging from pianos to sporting equipment since 1845).
		In January of 1920, a new line of Brunswick Records were introduced in the US and Canada that employed the lateral cut system that was then becoming the default cut for 78 disc records.
		In 1932, the British branch of Brunswick was acquired by Decca Records.

	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.

	Brunswick and Vocalion Records
		In 1930, the parent firm, discovering that the record business was no longer profitable, sold their record operation to Warner Brothers, the movie firm, who intended to tie it in with their film business.
		Even the appearance of film stars on record failed to sell Brunswicks, however, and in 1932 the label was acquired by the American Record Corporation, with the Canadian operations dropped, as ARC was tied in with the Compo Company in Canada.
		When Decca acquired the rights to Brunswick in 1943, Vocalion was included, and the label was revived in 1949 for a short time, then used from the late 1950s on as a designation for a line of budget LPs.

	Vocalion Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vocalion Records was a record label historically active in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
		Vocalion was founded in 1916 by the Aeolian Piano Company of New York City, which also introduced a line of phonographs at the same time.
		Vocalion became a subsidiary of Columbia Records in 1938.

		According to Vocalion dealers, the record is well liked, and indications are that the label will be retained so as to be distinct from the Brunswick.
		While Warners was to be paid a fee on sales of records pressed from Brunswick, Vocalion and Melotone masters recorded prior to December 3, 1931 (the date of the agreement), ARC was permitted to release its own master recordings on the Brunswick, Vocalion and Melotone labels free of charge from Warners.
		While I’ve done a fair amount of research on the history of the record industry in the years 1923-43, I’m not as familiar with the post-war years but between catalogs, reference works and Richard Spottswood’s capacious memory was able to locate enough data to draw the broad outlines that follow.

	Title
		Thanks to Vocalion Records of PO Box 609, Watford, Hertforshire WD18 7YA (www.duttonlabs.demon.co.uk) who have a licensing agreement with Decca Records we can once again enjoy the magic of Mantovani in its original form with two wonderful stereo albums from 1963 and 1965.
		Vocalion Records have already issued in a similar format double albums of Robert Farnon, Stanley Black, Frank Chacksfield and Edmundo Ros.
		At this stage of his recording career the maestro really was the "full Monty" with the cream of peerless British free-lance musicians to choose from, some thrilling orchestrations and an adoring public which recognised the maestro's feeling for his music.

	Dismuke's Hit Of The Week
		The band featured in these recordings is one that Pollack formed after he moved to the West Coast in late 1936 and it did not achieve the level of success of his earlier band.
		Many Vocalion records of that era were pseudonymous reissues of recordings originally issued on Brunswick.
		The record remained in Columbia's catalog for a number of years and certain subtleties in the label design of my copy indicate that it was manufactured in either 1913 or 1914.

	The Duke Ellington Music Society
		But they were having difficulty selling their own competing Brunswick and Vocalion recordings in a field already populated by RCA Victor and Decca.
		Ellington's landmark recording of "Reminiscing in Tempo" covered four sides; Brunswick 7546 paired parts 1 and 2, while Brunswick 7547 paired parts 3 and 4; company files show that both records were released on 11/2/35, yet on page 246 Lawrence tells us that the records were released a month apart.
		Columbia Records made a modest donation to the festival (at the instigation of Avakian, who was also on the festival's board of directors and knew that it was struggling financially), but didn't pay the performance fees of any of the artists who appeared there.

	Ben Selvin
		The tonal balance perfected in the phonograph recording studios is utterly lacking in radio reproduction; some instrument always stands out as a rule over the air, to the complete exclusion of all the rest.
		The ban was arguably a disaster for working musicians--for example, it contributed to the decline of big bands or the "swing" era--but in the end the major record companies did agree to pay the union a royalty for released records.
		In the mid-1970s he was reunited with former Brunswick recording director Walter Haenschen ("Carl Fenton") for a taped interview at Lincoln Center.

	Old Country Stomp
		Henry "Ragtime Texas" Thomas (1874-1950s?) was middle aged when he recorded for Vocalion Records between 1927 and 1929.
		A blues singer and songster, one of the more impressive facets of his playing was his use of the quills (a form of pan-pipe made from cane).
		The 1960s group the Lovin' Spoonful recorded a tribute to him as "Henry Thomas," replacing the quills with a kazoo.

		The band’s recording of "Too Much Mustard" was made in 1913 — almost four years before the Original Dixieland Jazz Band first recorded what many consider to be the first jazz record.
		As the phonograph record business was growing rapidly, Okeh Records began what it called "location recording." Beginning in 1924, Okeh sent mobile recording trucks out to tour various parts of the country to record bands that were not being heard in New York or Chicago.
		All of these dozens of dance band records by Cleveland bands were recorded before the Cleveland Orchestra made its first recording in May of 1926.

	Tim Gracyk's Phonographs and Old Records -- Irving Kaufman
		Kaufman reported years later that the major companies gave permission for him to record for smaller firms as long as pseudonyms were used, and Kaufman rarely knew at the time he attended a session what pseudonym would appear on a label afterwards.
		He had made Vocalion discs as early as 1921, when he stopped being exclusive to Emerson, and he continued to make Vocalion records after Brunswick bought out the record division of the Aeolian Company in late 1924 (Vocalion discs were issued as Brunswick products beginning in early 1925).
		In August 1974 he recorded in his California home eight songs for a two-album set that reissued some of his old recordings, which means Kaufman's recording career spanned six decades, from 1914 to 1974.

	Cow Cow Davenport
		Cow Cow Davenport is remembered most for his famous song "Cow Cow Blues" which is one of the earliest recorded examples of the Boogie-Woogie or Barrelhouse, as it's sometimes called.
		Davenport learned to play piano and organ in his father's church from his mother who was the organist and it looked like he was going to follow in the family footsteps until he was expelled from the Alabama Theological Seminary in 1911 for playing Ragtime at a church function.
		In 1938 he suffered a stroke that left his right hand somewhat paralyzed and affected his piano playing for the rest of his life, but he remained active as a vocalist until he regained enough strength in his hand to play again.

	Music of Social Change :: Meeropol and Strange Fruit
		It seemed to spell out all the things that had killed Pop (Holiday's father had died of pneumonia after several segregated southern hospitals refused to treat him)." With her accompanist Sonny White she quickly turned the poem into a song and performed it frequently at the club Café Society in New York City.
		When she attempted to record the song with Vocalion Records, they refused, fearing that the song would hurt their business in the South.
		Throughout the years, "Strange Fruit" has been recorded by such other prominent African American singers as the late Josh White and Carmen McRae as well as the enigmatic, exiled Nina Simone.
