ListeningToPrestige Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 How were independent labels affected by the Petrillo strike of 1942-44? I know most of them started up after that, but there were a few -- Blue Note was already around, Savoy and Exclusive/Excelsior started in 1942. Did they make a separate peace with the union earlier than the big labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 just to note what Curley Russell told me about the recording ban - that many labels continued to record but back-dated the recording date so they would not seem to be violating the ban.

ListeningToPrestige Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I found it The indie labels followed Decca, which at the time was one of the Big Three majors. Capitol was to become a major, but at that time was newly formed. https://downbeat.com/news/detail/the-petrillo-ban-of-194244-past-future-at-war?fbclid=IwAR38DqwvZgr1fW6Q00zektvxzmJVJvO0NKZwj8kfRwKAPukqgr0daaDaCEQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
