[78-L] Hawaiian Recording and Publishing Co

[Glenn Longwell]

I'm sure Malcolm will chime in with a history but a quick search in Billboard found the name Eaton (Bob) Magoon, Jr. from an article in 1968 as the president.  Searching on his name finds quite a few links with references to Hawaiian Recording.  I didn't go too far in looking but perhaps that will give you more to work with.

Greetings.  I just acquired a collection of 78s with many Hawaiian record labels and found one I haven't seen before.  It can be viewed here:

This is H-1-A/B and I've found an H-2-A/B online, both by the Morgan Sisters.  I've looked on the 'net and there isn't a whole lot of information available on the artists or the label.  A YouTube person said this label is c.1953 and that's about all I know.

Any info on how long this company was in business? How many records were released?  Which artists recorded for this label?

Thanks!

P.S. - Also got my first '49th State' label.  Cool!
