330 - Best of Broadway [label copy title: Broadway Show Hits] - Paul Payne & His
Orchestra [196?] Same as Acorn 602. This is a mess. The track lineups, as given on the label, are
as follows (note that "Mary's A Grand Old Name" is listed on both sides, and actually appears on
both sides - - same version!). As for "Paul Payne," this is a mish-mash of songs from a lot of different
sources, so "Paul Payne," at least as far as being the artist for all tracks on a coherent album, is
fictitious. To top things off, the photo on the front cover is unintentionally comical. It shows a couple on a
date in a horse-drawn carriage, ostensibly riding in Central Park on the way to Broadway, but she looks
like she would rather be anywhere but where she is, with this guy! Shine On Harvest Moon/My
Hero/Gypsy Love Song/Mary's A Grand Old Name/The Merry Widow/Kiss Me Again/March Of The
Toys//Give My Regards To Broadway/You're A Grand Old Flag/Mary's A Grand Old Name/So Long
Mary/Harrigan/45 Minutes From Broadway/When We Are M-A-Double-R-I-E-D/The Yankee Doodle Boy.
Actually, side one has eight tracks and side two has ten tracks, as opposed to the listed seven and eight.
The three songs not listed appear to be "Oklahoma," which appears on side 1, cut 1, before the listed
tracks, "Over There," and a march we don't recognize. Side two contains the two extra tracks and is in a
different order from that listed. The correct order is: Give My Regards To Broadway/You're A Grand Old
Flag/So Long Mary/Over There/The Yankee Doodle Boy/Mary's A Grand Old Name/Harrigan/45 Minutes
From Broadway/When We Are M-A-Double-R-I-E-D/(unknown march).

Evon Album Discography
Evon Records was a short-lived 1950s/1960s budget
label. It was originally a budget outlet for Rondo/Rondo-lette, as the early albums were reissues from
that label or other labels from Eli Oberstein's Record Corporation of America labels. Original Evon
"labels" were black with silver print, but were "paperless," that is, the labels were printed on the vinyl, not
on paper labels. In fact, as far as printing technique, the early Evon labels looked exactly like the Rondo-
lette 10" stereo album labels. The label address on the back of the jacket was initially given as "West New
York, New Jersey," the same general address as Acorn Records, another Rondo subsidiary. The albums,
like other Rondo products, featured a generic discography of the label's albums on the back of the jackets.
Eli Oberstein's son apparently initially sold Rondo/Rondo-lette, along with its subsidiaries Evon and
Acorn, to Precision Radiation Instruments (PRI), Inc., who owned Tops, Golden Tone, etc. PRI began
adding a Golden Tone logo to the album covers, and even used the generic Golden Tone back album
jacket. Sometimes, the albums were even known to have an Evon jacket with a Golden Tone label
record inside. The address on the back of these albums was the address of PRI, namely, 5810 S.
Normandie Ave., Los Angeles. They used a paper version of the black label, similar to the Tops label
matte black paper, and the records were pressed with a deep groove in the label area to help stabilize
the paper label.
Sometime after Album 351 was issued, the credits on the back of the jackets (now restored to the
discographies) changed to "Hudson Record Company, 418 Lafayette St., New York 3, New York." The
paper label changed to yellow with black print, and the Golden Tone logos were removed from these
reissues. This is the same address that began appearing on the Acorn label. It is not known what
connection Hudson Records had with PRI, but they were possibly a subsidiary.
