[78-L] "HitsByBarron"and"HitsByHutton"

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

The Blue Barron titles were recorded in mid-November, 1941. All of the Elite 'Hits By...' discs were released as singles.
Eli Oberstein's Classic Record Co. introduced the 50 cent black label Hit in early May 1942. Hit began releasing albums in late July, 1942. 
Elite releases continued to dribble out but they were all reissues of Varsity sides in an X-prefixed series.
Effective March 1, 1945 Majestic took over the entire operation.

My understanding is that all the blue label Hit records say "Hits by..." and I don't think they are parts of album sets.I know I have some late Berigan records on "Hits by...", including a nice version of Skylark.I don't recall is this label is related to "Hit" from around the same time or a little later. I'm sure somebody here will let us know (my American label book is all the way in the other room).Taylor----- Original Message ----- From: "Glen Richards" To: "78-L Mail List" <78-l at klickitat.78online.com>Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 4:36 PMSubject: [78-L] "Hits By Barron" and "Hits By Hutton"> Hey, while I'm digging through my "Huh, I'll have to check these out> someday" stack, anyone have info on the "Hits By Barron" and "Hits By> Hutton" labels?
