[78-L] Fw: Jewel Gold Note Series (1940s label) question.

[David Lennick]

That E appears on Tempo and a few other West Coast labels..I've wondered about 
it myself. I think I've noticed it on Allied 78s and LPs as well (they didn't 
make all that many..some of them on nice yellow vinyl, too).

If you compare 1946-7 Capitols, ARAs, Jewels et al, you'll likely find that 
they look as if they were cut at the same facility and even have the same font 
for the matrix numbers. RR perfected that "swing" run-out, which you can even 
find on Columbias with RHCO prefixes in the early 50s. Moe Asch even had some 
Disc sides done by RR, the ones by the Santa Monica Civic Symphony Orchestra 
(Rachmaninoff, Khachaturian et al) and they look like Capitol records of the 
day. Artist also used RR, I'm pretty sure, and their labels bear a similarity 
to Jewel's.
