[78-L] Capitol Compact 33s

[Jeff Sultanof]

Herman recorded for MGM from 1951-53 when he signed with Capitol. He had an
interesting contract with MGM; he recorded dance sides and 'commercial'
recordings for the label, and recorded more hip material for a label he
co-owned with Howie Richmond (the publisher TRO is also Richmond's, although
he has retired) called Mars. Distribution was non-existent according to
Woody, so Mars died a quiet death.

Howie is another old line independent music publisher who really should
write a book about his life. A fascinating, wonderful man who was an honest
guy most of the time.
