KICKS label listing

Reissued 1930's and '40's material anonymously in the mid and late 1940's. Dubs were probably made at Eli Oberstein's Transcriptions, Inc., the former GENERAL studios. Notable for the high quality of the label graphics. Carmine and white label with brown and black print, earlier(?) releases have a plainer white label with black print and brown image. Issues begin with an unnumbered series with consecutive control numbers 1-16. Numbered series 17-37 have conventional A and B sides and later (38-43) material exhibits Z-prefixed control numbers.
