Hollywood Records (2)

Profile

Also known as "Hollywood". Do not confuse with a similar budget label, [l=Hollywood Records (9)]. For unofficial releases, see [l=Hollywood Records (20)]. In 1953 [a=Don Pierce (2)] bought the [l=Recorded In Hollywood] label from [a=John Dolphin] and renamed it to just Hollywood Records. At this time [a=Don Pierce (2)] had become president of [l=Starday Records]. So off course both labels was associated from the beginning. Late in 1957 the labels moved their headquater to Madison, Tennessee. From this point on the releases denotes "Distributed by [l=Starday International Sales, Inc.]" In between 1961 and 1965 the label was dormant but known to become active once again till the late 1960. The label obviously licensed some recordings from [l=Swing Time Records]
