Delta Recording Corp.

The label and recording company and the studios was active from the early 1960s and began issuing its first releases in about 1964. It would either provide the recording and pressing service or convert existing recordings into vinyl records for sale by the private or commercial organisations requesting their services. The were based out of New York City and so were ideally placed for providing the ferry companies sending cruise ships around the world. Thus a large majority of the recordings fit this purpose. There were also the local Irish Americans with a large community in the area and the church communities going as far as neighbouring state - New Jersey, who came to them with requests for privately pressed records. Helpfully, they often provide the date of pressing/release written into the catalogue number beginning with the month, then the day and then the year. Thus a catalogue number ending in 64 is issued in 1964 and likewise ending in 72 it was issued in 1972. They also had a label series (rather than a private pressing service) which were in the 1000 (for singles) or 2000 series (for LPs) as well as a 100 series.
