Rex Records
LOCATION: 931 SW King Avenue, Portland, OR (in the KWJJ Radio Station)
OWNER(S): George Rex
MISC NOTES: By 1941 George Rex was operating the George Rex Music Studio (at 315 Seneca Street, Seattle) and the Rex Music Publishers. From there he expanded into Portland around 1953 with a studio within the KWJJ radio facility. A later owner, Russ Gorlsline, purchased Rex in 1972, further establishing it as a top Northwest recording facility. Label numbers are master tape numbers. Gorsline may have superseded the Rex house label with Rexius.
