Texas Sound Studios

Studio in San Antonio ran by or credited to: Jeff Smith (52). With only one or two exceptions, everything on Harlem (3), Hour, and related labels was recorded at Jeff Smith’s Texas Sound Studios, located on Hildebrand Avenue on the city’s North Side. Anyone who has spent more than five minutes collecting Texas labels is familiar with the “TSS” designation, etched into the run-off grooves of countless singles from the late 1950s until the early 1970s.
