While hunting thru my records for early album covers, I came across a
Roy Milton record with a cartoon label, Grooving With Joe/Blues In my
Heart, Roy Milton Record Co 1-11. While not yet finding the recording
and release dates other than "in the 40s", here is a great site
picturing almost all of them -- and some have alternate photos if you
click on them. http://koti.mbnet.fi/flidi/milton/
Timely Records put out records of leftist worker songs in 1935 with
great cartoon labels, and a leaflet of them is reproduced in the Bear
Family book for "Songs For Political Action". They are described as
being in an album, and that the next group of Timely records were also
in an album in 1937. Anybody have any of these or images of these
because these would be pre-Steinweiss. Lennick mentioned getting the
leaflet a couple of months ago.
