Paula Album Discography, Part 2:
Compact Discs, Including Cobra/J.O.B. labels

By Mike Callahan, Dave Edwards, Patrice Eyries, and Randy Watts
Last update: April 10, 2009





About 1970, Jewel-Paula owner Stan Lewis, who had spent a lot of time in Chicago with his friend Leonard Chess, bought the masters from the Chicago blues labels Cobra and J.O.B. It was these masters that provided the basis for a new series of CDs issued in 1991, the Paula PCD-01 Blues Series.

Cobra Records was started in Chicago in 1956 by record shop owner Eli Toscano, with Chicago's "promoter's promoter" Howard Bedno handling promotion and radio hobnobbing. More importantly, the A&R and studio decisions were made by bassist and Chicago blues legend Willie Dixon, who went out and signed Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and Magic Sam, among others, and wrote songs for them. Other artists on the label included Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, Louis Myers & the Aces, the Clouds, Sunnyland Slim, Shakey Horton, Duke Jenkins, Little Willie Foster, Betty Everett, Harold Burrage, Shakey Jake, and Charles Clark. Cobra was originally located behind a television repair shop at 2854 W. Roosevelt Road, on Chicago's West Side, and soon moved down the street to 3346. It lasted until 1959.

J.O.B. Records, so named for the initials of its owners, James Burke Oden and Joe Brown, started releasing records in Chicago in the summer of 1949 and lasted until 1957. Artists on the label included J.B. Lenoir, Snooky Pryor, Johnny Shines, Baby Face Leroy (Foster), Memphis Minnie, St. Louis Jimmy (who was actually James Burke Oden, the label's owner), Sunnyland Slim, the John Brim Trio, Grace Brim, King Kolax, John Lee (Henley), Henry Palmer & Mitzi Mars, Joiner's Five Trumpets, Mildred Richards, Bob Phillips, Floyd Jones, Ray Sneed, Eddie Boyd, Little Hudson's (Shower) Red Devil Trio, J.T. Brown, Robert Dunbar, the Heavenly Kings, Earl H. Pugh, the Airibians, Eddie Clark, Zono Sago, Sax Kari, Ernest Cotton, Wilbur Clark, Willie Welch's Band, Willie Cobbs, the Gales, and others. J.O.B. was located at 4008 S. Ellis Avenue and 1121 W. 59th Street in Chicago. More information on the J.O.B. label can be found on Robert Campbell's J.O.B. Label Page.

Although we have found JLP-004, released 1956, we have found no other indication that J.O.B. put out albums. Ironically, in 1950 there was another, unrelated, label named JOB (no periods) that put out singles by Nathaniel "Stick Horse" Hammond, run out of (of all places) Shreveport, Louisiana! The Shreveport JOB label was owned by Ray Bartlett.

In addition to the Paula PCD-01 Blues series, Paula also put out several other series of CDs and Cassettes noted below, including the PCD-800 Gospel Series, the P-1000 Gospel Series, the P/PCD-333 Reissue Series, and the P/PCD-9000 Gold Series. Also included here are a couple of relevant box sets issued in 1993 on the Capricorn label and a couple of related reissue CDs on other labels.

Note: The following four CDs, with masters drawn from the Excello label's vaults, are listed in a Paula Catalog from 1992. They apparently were never released. About the time these CDs were being planned, the Excello label was purchased by AVI, and it is possible the licensing deal fell through and AVI issued similar CDs on their own label (as indicated below). The catalog numbers PCD-22 and PCD-23 were known to have been issued later as noted above.
