Symbols Set

Old Town Records was one of dozens, if not hundreds, of small, independent record labels that sprang up in New York in the 1950s. While it had great success in New York, it had few national hits: only six Top 40 national hits in eleven years. Yet it was an interesting label, featuring soul, doo-wop and R&B music. It produced quite a number of oldies favorites including "There's a Moon Out Tonight" by The Capris and "Tonight Kathleen' by The Valentines. This list is an ongoing project; more singles will be added.

Exhaustive 30 CD collection from the Jazz legend's short-lived label. Contains 44 original albums (421 tracks) plus booklet. Every record-collector has run across an album with the little sax-playing bird in it's label-logo, right next to the brand name Charlie Parker Records or CP Parker Records. Turning the sleeve over, especially if it was one of the non-Parker releases, and seeing a '60s release date under the header Stereo-pact! Was as exciting an experience as it was confusing. Was the claim Bird Lives meant more literally than previously thought?
