Admiral (6)

Label founded in New York City in 1949. See Admiral Records, Inc. for company profile. Description from Billboard Magazine, November 19, 1949: "Admiral Records, a new diskery incorporated here last week, tees off shortly with releases in the pop, blues-rhythm and kidisk categories. The first artist signed is warbler Bobby Colt ... Plans call for monthly releases on vinyl filled unbreakable pressings, with artists's pictures on all labels." In 1950 the name of the label was changed to Adam (8) after objections from the Admiral Radio-TV Corporation.
