[78-L] Irving Kaufman Party Record???

[davdieh at aol.com]

 Al Middleman ran the label with Eli Oberstein as silent partner. Hank Williams recorded for the label which was very jukebox oriented. In fact, Middleman and Oberstein were also partners in Art Rupe's Jukebox label. I think the Kaufman discs may have been the only 'ethnic' sides.

Thanks,  David.  I noticed that you don't list the Sterling label on your 
party record web site,  so I'm assuming that most of their stuff is Yiddish 
or other ethnic material?
