Record labels named after the owner/owners

Posted

Record labels that are named incorporating the owner or owners names:

Johnny Guitar Watson "Ain't Gonna Move" on Jowat is a great example.

I'd love to know - or be able to remember - just how long it took me to spot this hidden in plain sight detail.

There's bound to be loads more but none spring immediately to mind. Help me out eh?

Labels such as Karen that were named after the name of a family member (one of the owners daughters so I've read) also count I guess.

You are correct Sir! I believe the label was owned by Joe Brown ?

Maybe his son was named "Drew"?
