Lenox 78rpm numerical listing

New York City; August 1948 ~ November 1949

LENOX RECORDS, began during the recording strike of 1948 as a label to promote blues and gospel titles previously recorded for Continental Records. The bright orange label was a subsidiary of Remington Records owned by four individuals including Donald Gabor, president of Continental. The dics were pressed in plants in New Jersey and Webster, Massachusetts and priced at $0.75. The initals releases on the label (500-514) were recorded between December 31st, 1945, and late 1947. Some of the singles were previously released on Continental. With the conclusion of the strike in December of 1948, recording sessions were again held through March of 1949. The new series of releases included freshly-recorded issues (521, 524, 526, 530 and 531) plus more early titles (518 and 529).

NOTE: This listing is created for research and educational purposes only. I only own a small proportion of the phonograph records listed, and those I own are NOT FOR SALE. I also have no particular insight as to how to acquire them. With the information you have found here, search eBay, gemm.com, or post a question to 78-C. Otherwise, you'll need to spend hours over a period of time searching junk stores, garage sales, record auctions (both mail and internet), and anyplace else that may have 78rpm discs for sale.
