Aqua Records

LOCATION: Riley's Aqua Barn, 960 Westlake North, Seattle, WA. / Renton, WA
OWNER(s): Jack & Laverne Riley
STATS:  Early 1950s - Mid 1960s
MISC NOTES:  Jack Riley's July 8, 2000 obituary is quoted from The Seattle Times:  "Jack Riley was born in Maytown Thurston County, (Washington). He grew up in Carnation King County, (Washington) where his father held jobs with the railroads and the county. Mr. Riley attended the University of Washington and worked as a boat builder. He also taught social-recreation activities, such as dancing, at Seattle Catholic schools. He served as an Army paratrooper in the Pacific theater during and after World War II. Back in Seattle, he bought a barge, moored it on the west side of Lake Union and turned it into a floating dance hall with a western theme: the original Aqua Barn. He met his future wife while teaching square-dance lessons. In 1951, the couple moved the Aqua Barn business to her family's property on old Renton-Maple Valley Road (Renton King County, Washington) and began holding square dances. They added rental horses, campgrounds, a pool and train tracks, pressing existing buildings into service. Mr. Riley was in his element, later saying he considered it more a playground than a business. 'We really prevailed,' he said, recalling the 1960s heyday when his Renton business had 240 horses on more than 100 acres and a barn full of people country dancing every night. During the 1950s, when children's shows were big on local television, Mr. Riley enjoyed a brief fling on the small screen. He was 'Happy Jack,' comedic sidekick of KING-TV's western-movie emcee, Sheriff Tex" [Jim Lewis]. The Riley's record company -- whose motto was "Waves of Fun" -- was active throughout the 1950s. The ranch in Renton, replete with a restaurant that remained open for decades, was finally sold to developers in 1998.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Many of the Aqua Records  featured  hit songs of the day  adapted into a square dance format.
  • As initially released, a  dance instruction sheet accompanied each disc. That sheet also credited dance creator(s) as well city and state in which he/she/they lived.
  • Some recording sessions were done at the Scott-Noland Company on Westlake Avenue in Seattle. Chet Noland was the engineer. A fair number of other sessions were done in Canada.

Early discs were/could be issued in both 78 and 45 rpm formats:
a.) Individual 78s were sometimes issued  on both yellow and blue labels, The  distininctive  ship's wheel logo, numerals and lettering were black.
b.) 45s featured a light blue label background with black "fjord"  hills left and right center of spindle hole, black numerals and lettering.
