Anyone here got much info on this late 60's LA based label ?

They put out a number of great 45's, many of which go for money now. Viola Wills was just about their best known artist & she must have been signed between her stints on Bronco & Supreme (67 to 71). Other artists they cut included Kenny & Larry, Beulah Palmer, Prince Brownell, Victor Green & Willie Hotfoot and the Relations. As usual (when deep soul is involved) Sir Shambling has been there with regards to Beulah Parker's two 45's but again little artist or label bio info seems to be available.

None of the acts, apart from Viola, seemed to appear again on vinyl (unless they did so under other names) and the parent music company's BMI registration has long lapsed, so little to be found on-line about the set-up.

I guess that the Henry Cain who produced & arranged some of the Bem Sole stuff is the Henry Cain (organ player) who had an album out on Capitol in 68 and who had been working with the likes of H B Barnum before that. He also worked with Lorez Alexandria in 68 (Pzazz Records).

Henry Cain had made an impression even earlier in the 60's and had been signed to Vault (distributed by Atlantic at the time) . . .
