The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 160
Obscure labels
Today music from several independent record labels, that all have a lot in common: they were highly unsuccesful, they existed for just a short time, and their music is extremely rare and hard to find. And of the nine record labels that pass by, only one is fairly documented thanks to the efforts of the Red Saunders Research Foundation that extensively documents the Chicago Rhythm & Blues scene.
