[78-L] Liberty Music Shop, NYC

[David Lennick]

Rabson's and Schirmer's (the publisher) also produced records, and don't forget 
the Commodore Music Shop. All of them used the major record labels to process 
and press the discs, but the stores had a select clientele they felt the majors 
weren't paying attention to. They also reissued discs that the majors had 
deleted or put out masters from English Decca and EMI of Reginald Gardiner and 
Gracie Fields.

> I have some Beatrice Lillie 78s recorded with Liberty Music Shop and Gramophone Shop Varieties labels.  This implies these records were made for these music shops.  Were music shops capable of producing their own record labels?  Are these a specialty series?  Were other artists recorded on similar labels?  Thanks!
