Additionally, WOR was a major recording studio at that point for many
independent labels.  Capitol was doing a lot of their recording there. 
They also had long been a major distributor of recorded syndicated
programs.

WOR was and is a radio station in New York and apparently recorded songs in their studio and made their own records. There's a lot of info about the radio station, but there doesn't seem to be much info about these records. Any way to find out how many were released on the WOR label? Whether any of their recordings were released on major record labels? Time frame for their label?
