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.
