Electra (8)

U.S. record label started by Orlando R. Marsh in May 1927. In many respects this label served as a replacement for Marsh Laboratories's Autograph Records (2) label, except that Electra produced only private or promotional material and radio transcriptions. The most notable of these were the earliest "Amos & Andy" transcriptions. Discs did not carry catalog numbers and they used a new master series (4000-6000s) instead of the original Autograph series. The sound and pressing quality of Electra records are noticeably superior to earlier Marsh productions.
