Alert Records, Inc.

U.S. record company (1946 - ca. 1950). This company was founded in early 1946 by Sollie Abrams. Alert specialized in race material, with an artist roster that included [a313154] and Brownie McGhee. The Alert label issued releases in a 200 series (pop/jazz), a 400 series (blues) and a 600 series (gospel). The company introduced a children's label (Kiddie Time) in late 1948. The company underwent reorganization in summer 1948, during which offices were moved to 2413-A 65th St. Brooklyn, NY. Alert suspended operations in early 1950, and sold Kiddie Time masters to Jerry Blaine (2).
