[78-L] Joe Mares, New Orleans

[Roger Wade]

Hi Mike,

Joe Mares was the driving force behind the Southland record label in New Orleans.  Southland issued 78s in the early 1950s and then moved on to 10-inch and 12-inch LPs, all with local New Orleans jazz musicians.  I have a couple of 12-inch acetates with "Joe Mares, Jr., New Orleans, LA" labels.  The content on these was issued on Southland LPs so these actates with typewritten labels may be test pressings.  Anyway I think they're cool which is why I bid on them in one of Kurt Nauck's auctions.  I can post scans if anyone is interested.
