Lavender Record Co.

LOCATION: 445 West Plum St., Centralia, WA. / P.O. Box 286 Seaside, OR
OWNER(s): George Bright / Clayton Watson / Pat Mason
TIMESPAN: 1958-1970s...
MISC NOTES: In about April, 1958, rockabilly bandleader Clayton Watson and band associate, George Bright, founded the label in Centralia, WA. It was named after the outrageous custom color of his hotrod. It was later sold for $1 to booking agent / promoter Pat Mason of Seaside. Mason ran it out of Seaside, OR., and many records were cut on weekdays at his Cascade teen-club (at 3202 Jasper Rd, 2 miles east of Springfield, OR). Eventually the label was operated from Salem, OR. The label was associated with Mason's O.A.R. Publishing Co.

The vast majority of Lavender discs feature labels with a lavender background and black numerals and lettering. There are, however, exceptions to that rule: #2010 white background w/lavender numerals and lettering; #s 2019 and 2999 green background w/black numerals and lettering; #1978 light blue background w/black numerals and lettering.
