KING 12-inch LP's
Produced by ELI OBERSTEIN from c. 1951-3 for Syd Nathan's King label of Cinicinnati, OH. Numbers are derived from the last three digits of Allegro Royale LP's. The AFM refused to grant Oberstein a license so most releases are either reissues of Hit, Majestic and Sonora masters or European recordings with dubbed vocals. There are also some illicit off-air classical broadcasts and rehearsals from Italian and German sources. Updated 4/14/00.
