Golden Crest [NY]

Homebase: 220 Broadway, Huntington Station, NY
Owner(s):  Clark F. Galehouse
Timespan: 1956 - 1983
MISC NOTES: This s the original "flagship" to various sub-labels: Silver Crest, Shelley and Crest Records. Clark Galehouse had his own styrene pressing operation. He  could do pressings at will -- and as a result, stamper information on discs could vary within a press run. Also, artists and song  titles could be "mixed and matched" on 45 rpm discs. (See: #88602 Special). During its early years ,Golden Crest did not issue many 45 rpm discs with promotional  labels. (See #518, #375, #545 & #591). Only two discs from the early 1970s (#575 & #587) have been found with both promo and retail label designs.

"ROCK 'N' ROLL IS 'DISGUSTING'? (1959)"
by Peter Blecha

IN THE LATE 1950s there were still plenty of folks – especially established musicians – who were rock 'n' roll haters. The long list of nationally prominent stars who specifically dissed the music (& its fans) included bobbysoxer idol Frank Sinatra, classical cello master Pablo Casals – & the biggest A&R wig at the largest label in the world: Columbia Records' Mitch Miller. Even the greatest singing star to ever emerge from the Northwest – Bing Crosby – figured (as late as 1962) that, not to worry: rock music had already "run its course." [Read more...]

A similar rock put-down project was "The Big Green" / "Gung  Ho" (Dolton No. 29)
