Just seen this online, on a sales website, I’ve had Bell Sound acetates of Manhattans Carnival 45s before, but never seen this, a publishing acetate? The address, West 51st Street is mid town Manhattan, so geographically in the right place...Bell Sound is/was loacted at 237 W. 54th Street.

Interesteting acetate... anybody know anything about JAYSINA Enterprises ?

Found this online, not much else though with just a quick look: "Jaysina Sound Studios in Brooklyn, run by Morty Jay and Sandy Sina. Jay was an organist, arranger and conductor who had also worked with vocal quartet the Crew-Cuts; Sina (real name Santo Nessina) was an engineer who specialised in the Latin American market."

A few latin LPs and a stripper LP (!) connected with Jaysina.

I'm guessing the Jaysina Enterprises Inc was Primarily a Production company,  with their own studios 'Jaysina Sound Studios' in Brooklyn. The discs that I have found have different dialing codes, anybody from NY on here, do you know the difference between LT & JU? assume they are seperate local dialing codes.

Re Larry Foster, I found a track called 'My Christmas Message To The World' a very forgettable novelty record. Turns out he was a comedian and voice actor, as well as producer with Morty Jay and Sandy Sina. He was in a quartette called 'The Kirby Stone Four' along with another comedian Marty Brill, they did nightclubs and TV work nationally.

I did find this track below for Morty Jay, which came out on Kayden, a label we all know well. Good R&B organ track.

Also found this Chris Calloway track, 'Bewitched' which must be the programme of the same name, surely? Says self published, so maybe Chris simply recording something she could shop about to promote herself, or were they asked to submit for the show... we may never know.

So, Im guessing they did their own productions, had connections in the entertainment business, Radio and TV, and I'm guessing would take on other work that came through the door as all these audio recording businesses would, especially given their location in Mid Town Manhatten and Brooklyn.
