WRIGHTMAN RECORDS #3


No sooner had I expanded the notion that the "W" and "P" suffixes perhaps indicated “Western” and “Pop” then up crops what is essentially a western disc, but with a “P” suffix!

WRIGHTMAN 1033-W
“SMILIN’ RED” MAXEDON
(No Information)

WRIGHTMAN 1034-P
“SMILIN’ RED” MAXEDON AND HIS RADIO & RECORDING PALS
I Don’t Want To Just Dream (Vocal – “Smilin’ Red” MaxEdon)
(1034-P.A) (Arthur L. Dietz) (BMI)
Silver Rails (Vocal – “Smilin’ Red” MaxEdon, Pee Wee Linden,
Johnny White) (1034-P.B) (Fiend – Weddle – Dietz) (BMI)

WRIGHTMAN 1033-W and 1034-P were mentioned in BILLBOARD 2nd October 1949.

Although not noted I assume that the publishing was through “Neale Wrightman Publishers”
