Why are there two different Combo sections when they're both the same label?

Possibly just entered that way by contributors, and they need combining? One has five 78s, and a couple of images, the other has just one, and no images. Do you have any sources we can refer to, to check that they are indeed the same label? The catalogue numbers don't look the same, and the years are not overlapping.

The Combo with 5 releases is all blues/ RnB

The other combo is a DO-WOP release - just put up the YT.

Well, I'm just going by what Bob McGrath has in his 2nd edition of R&B Indies. He starts out with the red label giving the owner and location, then, when he gets to the blue label, he says the info for that is the same as the one above, therefore, from what I can tell, it's the same label. I don't have any red ones, so I can't compare them with the blue ones, and I only have one or two blue ones, but, it looks to me like they have almost the same numbering system except that one generally starts with J.P., the owners initials, but both use A for one side and AA for the other.

The ones with the Co-Co subsidiary.

Well, that sounds pretty convincing. It would be great if we could get blue label images, but I think we ought to merge them.

Update: I've just looked on 45cat and there is at least one act which appears on both labels (here), so they are looking like the same entity. That said, 45cat does treat them as different - maybe that needs changing too?

Just talked to my neighbor, who's a big R&B collector since the `50's (he's got about 36,000 records) and he says both Combos ARE the same label. They started out with the shiny red label, switched to dull blue, then went back to a dull red.
Jake Porter is also on both labels.

OK, I've made the 78 entries into one list, and raised the 45cat singles with other mods, who can edit that side of the site.

By the way, their other labels, Co-Co and Obmoc are usually included in their running order, but you don't nee to here.
