NOLTA Records
NOTE: NOLTA was a sister label to Seafair, Seafair-Bolo and Virgelle records. The label was an acronym for a business concept the owners had for a talent brokerage firm: NOrthern Lights Talent Associates. As an "experimental" label NOLTA showcased a rather eclectic roster of recording artists.
Slogan on at some disc labels: "INTERNATIONAL GEMS"
