[78-L] MAJESTIC Records questions

Both messages came through, Thomas.
I have one of these late Majestics...somewhere. It has the eagle logo scaled down and I think there is a border around the red label. Definitely not big name talent although I can't recall the bandleader's name. There's an L.A. address on the label IIRC.

Subject: [78-L] MAJESTIC Records questions

This message has not appeared in my inbox - sent 5:10 this morning.In case it got lost, I am resending it (revised). Apologies if it is aduplicate. 78discography has listings for the 1940's Majestic issues, prior to the1948 bankruptcy, dissolution andsale of Majestic Records. Mews items in Billboard indicate the record operation was revived inHollywood c.1951, the name licensed from the Chicago corp. From otheritems, this did not involve the 40's masters which had been acquired byMercury, with some sold off to Eli Oberstein/Varsity. Any activity seems to have been over by 1953. Does anyone have information about this (1951-53 Majestic) or listings ofthe records issued? In particular, records in a 100 series, designated 78-1xx....??? Thanks!Best wishes, Thomas.
