Bell Novelty Records

U.S. record label founded in 1940 by Benjamin Samberg. The label offered cheaply produced, mildly risqué "party" material. Most of this was recorded by Samberg himself, using the pseudonyms Benny Bell and Benny Bimbo. A "Blue Ribbon Series" was added in 1945, at which time the label was redesigned. In 1952, the label and company switched to Bell Records.
