C-5000 series were
accoustically recorded;
C-1-E were electrically
recorded from 1926. There was also a G series. Rust indicates that it is
not a common label. Its appeal to jazz collectors lies mostly in its sporadic
issue of odd sides of the Original Memphis Five, The Mound City Blowers,
Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra, Hottentots, and Jeffries and His
Rialto Orchestra. Sides by Irving Kaufman appear frequently under the sseudonym,
Harry Topping. [R]
