I mentioned the Climax label in my ARSC talk and showed an ad for the early Lewis records that was published in the Record Changer.

> I assume that Climax was a sublabel of Blue Note, used for early jazz styles
> (and named after the Climax Rag on the first issue).
> All issues, 101-105, are the George Lewis N.O. 1943 recordings, privately made 
> by Bill Russell and pres. later sold to Blue Note.
> The labels state: Distributed by Blue Note Records.
> Is the orig. release date known for these issues (from Billboard)?
> 
> European Climax labels contain different series (numbered like BN; not the Climax 100s), 
> and have 2 different label types.
> There are issues in:
> - an xx-series (36 Edmond Hall; 43 & 49 Bechet);
> - 500 series (Hodes; Baby Dodds; last known to me is 563 Bechet: the Saints);
> - 15/1600 series (1595/6 Miles Davis; 1606 Gil Mellé).
> These European issues may show BIEM on the labels, and 
> Raben lists them under Bechet as Climax(G).

> I played "Climax Rag" during my talk at ARSC this year. I too have it on a Blue Note LP

> What was Climax, who owned it and what relationship does it have with Blue Note?
