[78-L] label Info.

[Ron L'Herault]

I'm pretty sure those were dubbed from pre-existing 78s rather than being
pressings from old metal.  The more knowledgeable collectors on the list
will have more specific info.

Subject: [78-L] label Info.

A while back I bought a record with a recording of Hyena Stomp and Billy
Goat Stomp by Jelly Roll Morton and the Red Hot Peppers.  I was told this is
a reissue of a Victor record from the late 20s, which I suspected.  I was
also told that this was Milt Gabler's reissue label from the Commodore
Record Shop; I don' think this is accurate or maybe not.

I can find images of Gabler's reissues, and the label is printed with,
U.H.C.A. Release, issued by the Commodore Record Shop.  The record I have
only is printed with, Hot Jazz Club of America (I have never seen this
spelled out in a discography; the acronym, HJCA, is always used).  I am also
aware of reissues by the Hot Record Society (HRS) which apparently was a
competitor of UHCA.

I can find background information on UHCA and HRS, including a full catalog
for HRS, but I can find nothing on HJCA, except for an item here and there
in a discography for an artist or an occasional sale on ebay.  From what I
have found, I think that HJCA was contemporary to the other labels.

I would appreciate any background details on the label, i.e., founders,
location of company, relation to major labels, period of existance, etc.

Thanks,

ChuckB
