[78-L] Artist Records UA1005 Bolero Movie

[David Lennick]

No connection with United Artist (a 40s label) or United Artists (a 50s and 
onward label), but that was an interesting Los Angeles company in the late 40s, 
whose main artist was conductor Werner Janssen. Not sure if he was one of the 
owners. A lot of their masters were sold to Capitol in the early 50s.

Now I'm curious about that title, since there was never a movie titled "Bolero" 
from United Artists as far as I can determine..the 1934 film with George Raft 
was for Paramount. And yet the matrix numbers begin with the prefix UA. Artist 
matrix numbers like those on 4 American Landscapes or The Genesis Suite begin 
with JS.
