[78-L] Tokyo records

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I've been looking for info on the Tokyo label for years, unsuccessfully. 
I know about as much about it as you do. They were indeed pressed for 
the post-war Japanese communities on the West Coast. I have been in 
touch with a number of the Japanese Community Associations in Los 
Angeles and they know less than we do. But... there have to be business 
and tax info somewhere in the Los Angeles government files, and possibly 
even incorporation ppers (although I wouldn't count on it!). It requires 
going there and digging.
Angel (not Angle) was a different label, of which I know next to 
nothing, as well.
I'm interested in Tokyo because there are sometimes steel guitar solos 
in the music. I'd love to know who played on them.
But as long as digging is being dug, then I'd go after 1920s 
Sunset/Hollywood label business  info, too.

The pastor of some church promoted it. Some of the records were recorded in Japan and pressed here. If someone has matrix numbers, with dates, etc. please post. I think another label was Angle records, but this may have been part of a major company.
