"Started by Florence Greenberg in Dec 1958 with $ 4.000 from the sale of Tiara, with The Shirelles, to Decca. When The Shirelles didn't produce any hits for Decca, they were given back to Greenberg, who promptly signed them. n 1976 Florence Greenberg decided to retire from the business and sold her record labels to Springboard International Records, Inc.. When Springboard went bankrupt, Gusto Records (2) acquired the catalog. Florence Greenberg died November 2, 1995, of heart failure.

Thank you. I hadn't realized you'd compiled Scepter until I got an email alert.
ReplyDeleteI had started but Wimakaeler sent me 17 volumes of Scepter up to 1967. without tags & labels these included some Lp's tracks & a few mistakes. I am adding what i have to his tracks & retagging as the 45rpm records. Won't be 17 volumes but more to come.
