[78-L] Swing Time, Down Beat questions

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Hi Phil -
In the beginning was Down Beat (c. 04/48 or earlier). And, lo, it came 
to pass that the name changeth to Swing Beat (c. 10/49) and that begat 
Swing Time (c. 03/50). All 3 labels were owned by Jack Lauderdale, out 
of Los Angeles. I knowest not from  the Swing label, but I have label 
scanneths. And, behold, there's also the " 'Swing' With The Stars" Swing 
label, which relateth to the other four not.
Amen.

I can't figure out if certain artists only appeared on 1 label or several. Was the numbering system shared between the labels? Is there any rhyme or reason to all those labels?
