Times Square Records (4)

Profile

1960's US label from New York. Started by [a11082146], the original owner of Times Square Records (the record store). The label issued previously unreleased recordings from the doo-wop era as well as reissues. The first 2 issues were numbers 421-422 (1961) and then they started at number 1 in December 1962 going to 37 in May, 1964. For some reason, numbers 1-11 were re-used in September, 1964, then 101-107 were used later in '64. There was an interim period when numbers 93-100 were used by new owners in 1966 and then the label and store were dormant for a while until Louis Silvani bought the store sometime in the late-60's and re-activated the label for the last 3 releases (110-112) in the early 70's. BR9-3458 appeared on many Times Square releases. It was the telephone number of the Times Square Records Store. For unofficial use of the brand, see [l=Times Square Records (5)].
