I thought a number of small record companies quicky complied with the
musicians union's demands so they could get into the game with out the
major labels. As I understand it, this was crucial to the success of some
of those minor labels.

I'm sure they were above board with the jazz recordings from the fall of

had those Music Room issues (Six Songs for Democracy, and some others) in
1940
and No For An Answer in February 1941.
