Lost Nite Records

Profile

Lost Nite Records was a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania reissue record label that was founded by Jerry Greene and Jared Weinstein in the early 1960s. Disc jockey Jerry Blavat was a partner in label until the late 1960s, at which time he sold back his interest in the company to Greene and Weinstein. Lost Nite, and its sister label Crimson Records, were known for releasing rare and hard-to-find doo-wop and R&B records. Lost Nite was one of the few labels responsible for keeping the doo-wop genre alive during the late 1960s and 1970s. The most popular single released by the label was "There's A Moon Out Tonight" by The Capris. After the demise of Lost Nite, founder Jerry Greene established Collectables Records in 1980. Note: Please use an ANV when "The" is missing in the group's name (most of the releases).
