In April, 1958, Carl LeBow left as General Manager of Bethlehem Records to form a budget record
label called Aamco, where he became President. The label was a subsidiary of Alison Enterprises and
located at 204 West 49th street in New York City. The output of the label was popular, jazz and
International music. The A&R Director for Aamco was Lee Kraft.
The Musical Director and Vice President was bandleader Ted Steele. Steele had accepted the Musical
Director job at Bethlehem Records a mere two months earlier, but exited Bethlehem along with LeBow.
Steele was well known in New York City, having been a radio and television personality there since the
1940s. In 1958, he was with WOR-TV, where he hosted a record hop. Alison Enterprises was probably
named for Steele's then-recent bride Alison Steele (a 20-year-old disc jockey who later became New
York's "Nightbird."). What the other "enterprises" may have included is unknown.
In some ways, Aamco, the home of "Micro Cosmic Sound," seems to be a case study for an
underfunded, unsuccessful record label. They leased most of their music, so had little in the way of
contractual assets. They sold albums for $1.49 each ($2.49 stereo), so they didn't make much on each
sale, and they had no real hits, so they didn't sell a lot of records. Not even a year later, they had to hike
the price of their albums and it still didn't stop them from going bankrupt two months after that. In their
bankruptcy filing, their assets were listed as $7,200 and their liabilities were $183,661.
The formation of Aamco Records was announced in the May 19, 1958 issue of Billboard.
According to the announcement, "Aamco Records will issue low-priced LP's and eventually singles. First
releases, which will be issued about June 15, will include a number of LP's leased by LeBow from both
Bethlehem records and Monogram Records". (Monogram was not the label that released the early Chris
Montez hits, but rather an earlier label run by Manny Werner that specialized in Caribbean/Calypso
music.) Aamco released more than forty albums, with most having stereo counterparts. In addition,
Aamco released two stereo-only sampler albums.
Aamco released just four singles. The first one, "Just Young" by Andy Rose [Aamco 100] entered the
charts in mid-September, 1958, reaching #69 in Billboard and #28 in Cash Box. The song
was most popular in New York City, where it reached #17 on the WMGM charts.
Next was the Paulette Sisters' "Calla, Calla (The Bride, The Bride)" [Aamco 101]. It began being played
on radio stations the week of September 29, 1958, and by late October, entered the Cash Box
charts, mostly due, again, to sales in New York City, where it reached #28 on the WMGM charts. It
eventually reached #87 in Cash Box, but missed the Billboard chart altogether.
The final two singles, Teal Joy's "Lightning"/"Never Mind, Never Mind" [Aamco 102], and Andy Rose'
followup "My Devotion"/"Classroom Cutie" [Aamco 103] both failed to chart anywhere.
Less than a year after issuing their first albums, Aamco was in serious financial trouble. They brought in
20th Century Fox Merchandising Chief Norm Wieland in April, 1959. It was reported that this was part of
a widespread reorganization at the label, where LeBow and Steele bought out all their former partners
and became sole owners of Aamco. At the time, Aamco reported they had had 44 mono albums and 35
stereo albums out, and expected to release 6 more per month of each. They raised the price of their
mono albums from $1.49 to $1.98 and their stereo discs from $2.49 to $2.98. And they had big plans to
expand.
LeBow told Billboard that they were expanding into instructional records, establishing a label
called Scientia Records to release five different foreign language instruction records, each with a 40
page booklet, to retail for $1.98. (Two of these albums were released before the company folded; see
discography below). LeBow also said that they planned to launch a "Composer Series" featuring
orchestral presentations of composers such as Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Richard Rodgers.
(Three of these albums are known to have been released just before the label went bankrupt, all by an
anonymous orchestra dubbed the "Broadway Symphony Orchestra," and some or all released on
albums with blank back covers.)
LeBow reported to Billboard that April that their artist roster consisted of Ted Steele, Jack Carter,
Paul Winchell, the Paulette Sisters, and Teal Joy. Apparently their biggest seller, Andy Rose, had
already moved on (to Coral Records).
Ultimately, the April reorganization and the big plans failed to stop the financial bleeding, as a mere two
months later on June 18, Alison Enterprises, doing business as Aamco Records, filed for Chapter XI
bankruptcy. It was almost a year to the day after releasing their first albums. Although Chapter XI only
seeks reorganization, there was little a reorganization could do for a company $175,000 in debt with
essentially no assets. Nothing else was released on Aamco and the bankruptcy filing seemed to bring
down the curtain on the label.
Aamco had several color labels, but all with the same basic design. Most of the mono releases had a dark blue label with silver print (far left). This label was also used for stereo release ALPS-75, the Teal Joy LP. Next most common is the yellow label (near left), which was used for most of the stereo releases. It was also used for mono release ALP-310, the Charlie Shavers album. A white label with black print (possibly a promo) was used for some of the copies of ALP-310. | ||
A light blue label (far left) was used for ALPS 74, the Eddie Vinson album. The purple label (near left) was used for several early issues. | ||
Aamco's singles were on a green label with black print (far left). The promotional copies (near left) had the same design, but a white label with black print. |
