benchwarrant17 3rd Sep 2022		B Gene Autry Mexicali Rose Stone, Tenney I am looking for any indication that lyricist Helen Stone is a real person! I think Jack invented her, there is nothing 1923-present



benchwarrant17 3rd Sep 2022		W.B.lbl 23rd Nov 2021 Around what time, after CBS' purchase of ARC, did Columbia move its Chicago studios out of the Furniture Mart building into CBS network facilities? (I know 1956 was when they settled at 630 N. McClurg Court, but in-between those . . . ) Stevens Hotel, 720 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 1939



W.B.lbl ● 7th Mar 2022		And, way off this timeline: RCA's Mid-America Recording Center One North Wacker Drive Chicago, IL 60606 1969-1972 Amazing, "Victor" was in the Navy Pier area longer than they'd been in "the Loop."

fixbutte 23rd Nov 2021		Dear benchwarrant17 Every word you write is true of course, and an excellent addition to my 22nd Apr 2015 comment, written as well after years of gathering information about the Columbia/ARC/Brunswick/Vocalion/CBS/OKeh/WB/Decca/Columbia imbroglio

benchwarrant17 23rd Nov 2021		Dear fixbutte, Autry, OKeh, and ARC fans Furniture Mart Building, 666 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL Recording studio on the 21st Floor was built by Brunswick in 1929, completed in June. Unfortunately, sold itself to Warner Brothers in 1930, then leased its operations back, until complete sale to ARC Dec 1931. In 1938, ARC was purchased by CBS, which renamed it "Columbia Records" after purchasing those rights. btw I am leaving out parts of the story because A) I don't remember B) I want you to learn to use Google C) too lazy Because CBS (formerly ARC & Brunswick) failed on a clause on the 1930 contract (I do remember, but I'm invoking clause C of my contract), WB repossessed the Vocalion label imprint and sold it to Decca USA. The new Columbia got to keep its catalog, which it re-issued, along with its new recordings, on the Okeh label that it revived to replace Vocalion. Every word I did print is true. If there is any interest, I can provide an incredibly simplified (1-2 parag.) and accurate Autry recording label history for you guys. I will check back in a week or two. All my info comes from years of searching for answers, piece-by-piece, just like everybody else.



xiphophilos 10th Mar 2016		Gene Autry singing "You Are The Only Star" in the movie "Springtime in the Rockies" (1937):



bill mann 22nd Apr 2015		Jerry Lee Lewis does a fantastic version of the topside from his early sessions at Sun. Also cut the other side.



fixbutte 22nd Apr 2015		As said in my comment on Perfect 12776, Gene "Autry's discography is truly imposing, and there may be many hundreds of records to add to 45worlds 78 RPM alone, including all those simultaneous releases on the ARC labels and reissues on Vocalion, OKeh and Columbia". In order to underline this, I've added four different issues of essentially the same sides (in fact, one side was re-recorded in the course of reissuing): ¤ This here was the original issue, although a simultaneous issue on Melotone is highly probable and issues on other ARC labels (Banner, Perfect, Oriole, Romeo), all with the same catalog number, are possible. [Generally, in these ARC numbers the first digit denotes the year (1936), the next block denotes the month of release and the last block denotes the serial number (race and country records started their serial numbering at 51). The Columbia files, however, don't give May 1936 as the release date (although it was probably in the label flyers then) but April 15, 1936.] ¤ In April 1938, however, all these "dime store" labels were deleted by ARC (American Record Company) in favor of Vocalion, and this record was reissued on that label with a previously unused catalog number (03097). ¤ For reasons that I don't know "You're The Only Star (In My Blue Heaven)" was re-recorded on Apr 13, 1939, in Los Angeles (new matrix number: LA 1849-A). This new recording was then issued with the original version of "Mexicali Rose" on Vocalion with unchanged catalog number 03097. ¤ After the Vocalion label was purchased by Columbia in 1938, it was phased out in July 1940 and merged into Columbia's revived OKeh imprint. This record was then reissued on Okeh 03097 (with the re-recorded version of "You're The Only Star"). ¤ In July 1945, along with the end of World War II, Columbia also discontinued the OKeh label. Around one year later this record was issued on Columbia 37002. ¤ This was not the last move though. When Columbia started the new 20,000 series for C&W music in spring 1948, this record, like countless others, was reissued with a new number, in this particular case Columbia 20028.
