Subject: Artie Wayne, journeyman recording artist?

Here's a couple of entries for discs which I couldn't resist buying. No
disrespect intended to Artie Wayne, but I have never heard of him before.
He released two sides on VIP, and these sides were later released on KEM
(with reference to the VIP catalogue #s).

Is it probable that Wayne owned the sides and shopped them around, or did
he commission the pressings for sale in the lobby where his act was
playing?
Or is the KEM label a descendant of VIP?
