Golden Tone

Profile

Subsidiary of [l=P.R.I. Records] that, like the rest of its labels, released cut-rate budget pop and classical LPs. Merged into [l=Tops Mayfair Records] in 1958 and eventually had its catalog incorporated into that of [l=Pickwick International, Inc.] in the mid-1960s. Its LP's often referenced Radio Craftsman Co., the radio manufacturer that parent company Precision Radiation Instruments acquired in the early 1950s, on the back cover as the manufacturer. Note many releases were issued under 3 labels "Tops Records, MayFair & Golden tone" yet hold the same content and most times the same release info or # like these 3 [m=910944]
