Hollywood Hot Shots

U.S. "party" label produced for Novelty Records Distributors, founded in early 1937. This label evolved from Hot Shots From Hollywood, a jukebox label that was introduced in 1936 by John Collins "Jack" McClelland (1900-1973). Hollywood Hot Shots releases coupled Hot Shots From Hollywood masters with standard pop fare or mildly suggestive songs by Cliff Edwards. Masters were recorded at the Associated Cinema Studios in Hollywood. The Rae Bourbon releases were redubs from earlier Bourbana releases (with WR-prefix because they were made by the Western Record Co.).
