Biography - Continental 
USA
Label founded by Hungarian-born record entrepreneur Don Gabor in New York City in 1942. After 1952, Gabor replaced it with the Remington Records label. Both labels were pressed at Webster Manufacturing Co. in Webster, Massachusetts.
The earliest labels (1942-43) were black, then red and featured a curved label name and song titles in front of an outline the American continent. In 1944, this label was replaced with a much simpler design, a black or red label with the label name in a straight line. Above the label name, the label said: "Manufactured by Continental Record Co., Inc., 265 W. 54th Street, New York City." In June 1945, this label also appears in yellow. The next label style, starting in ca. October 1945, introduced the CRC logo on top of CONTINENTAL in narrower, but longer letters. Labels are now black, orange (Swing Classics), light green (Sepia Swing), black (International), black, blue, and purple (Hillbilly), or blue (Hawaiian). Between December 1946 and December 1949, this is replaced by a label that still says CRC, but features the label name CONTINENTAL in a black box. Label colors are now pink or yellow. In 1950, the boxed background disappeared, and the label is now plain red with white text.
