The West Virginia based COZY label is a fascinating concern, but an extremely difficult label to document. I'm not going to attempt listing releases on the label, I shall leave that daunting task to others (try links below), but just to whet your appetite here is a nice White Gospel release on COZY

Now here's a conundrum, are these two recordings actually EVERSTATE recordings? Both titles were issued on EVERSTATE (see below); are they alternative versions, re-recordings, or just reissues (I have never actually got around to comparing them).

The MAJESTIC Radio & Television Corporation started life in St. Charles, Illinois, in 1945. A year later the company had moved to New York, and remained there until 1949 when MERCURY purchased the labels catalogue. To all intent purposes the label then ceased to function, however, a year or so later The MAJESTIC label resurfaced, still a part of The MAJESTIC Radio & Television Corporation, but now located at 2559 W. Pico. Hollywood. California. Very few releases on this reactivated label have to date been documented, despite there being somewhere in excess of fifty releases.

RICH RECORDS (#2)

2011-03-21T23:04:00.006Z

Now where was I?

For some reason, which I cannot begin to fathom, the RICH label seems to have restarted reusing the same numerical sequence! There is a notation on the label of these later releases to the effect that the recordings / label design were copyrighted in 1944. The majority of known releases are by the 101 Ranch Boys. The Ranch Boy’s RICH material is being made available on a BACM CD next month, so for the time being I will not upload any audio files of their RICH material.

2011-03-04T19:38:00.004Z

The California based RICH label seems to have come and gone, and then returned to come and go again. What makes it a tad complicated is that the company reused the same numerical sequence?

This, seemingly the first incarnation, appears to date from around 1943 or 1944 (or possibly slightly earlier), an assumption which is based upon the lyrical content of "Two Hundred Texas Rangers", which has a wartime theme.

The Hollywood based WRIGHTMAN label appears to have been principally a vehicle to promote songs published through Neale Wrightman Publishers. Releases on WRIGHTMAN had either a W or P Suffix after the issue number, in the absence of any indication as to the significance of these letters, I have been working on the assumption that the “W” stands for Western, and the “P” stands for Pop. The only other observation worthy of bringing to your attention is that each artist who recorded for the label seems to have had two consecutive releases.

BLUE RIBBON DRAFT LABEL LISTING

2011-01-07T15:13:00.012Z

I am sure there are many more BLUE RIBBON releases to be tracked down; there are certainly a few 45’s from the mid to late fifties. As noted previously the nearest Chaw Mank ever got to a logical numerical series was with the 1900 releases. Listed below is a draft listing, I have tried to place the releases in some kind of order, but I don’t think that it actually accurately reflects the release sequence. The only observation I will make is that Mank transferred his publishing house from BMI to ASCAP at BLUE RIBBON 1918, so presumably all the releases where the publishing is ascribed to “Blue Ribbon Music BMI”, predate BLUE RIBBON 1918, although given Chaw Mank’s somewhat inconsistent numerical series that may prove to be a red herring?
