King/Federal/DeLuxe/Queen Discography, Part 1:
Pre-1956 LPs
 by David Edwards, Mike Callahan, Frank Daniels and Patrice Eyries
 Last update: June 2, 2021







The 10-inch LP series was not the first series of albums released by King. Previously, a series of 78-rpm multi-disc albums had been issued starting with No. 1 and continuing at least to No. 7. These were R&B material first recorded on the new R&B subsidiary Queen Records, but then when Queen was discontinued in 1947, the series continued under the King nameplate. The numerical series included the first three on the Queen label, followed by 4-7 on the King label. The information on these was provided by Frank Daniels.

The King 10-inch LP series again began with number 1. The price of the album was included in the record catalog number as a catalog prefix (i.e., King 295-1). The first album was priced at $2.95, but from there, a wide variety of prices ensued: $2.19, $2.65, $1.99, $1.59, and $1.79. Near the end of the series, most of the albums were $2.95.

King began being included in the Schwann Long Playing Record Catalog in the March, 1953, issue. In that issue, over a dozen albums were offered, both before the 21-63 gap and also after the gap. We have dated these records as "2/53," the month before the nominal issue date. All of these were listed as being new that month. It is possible the actual release date was earlier, if King just got around to submitting their catalog to Schwann. For those albums dated as "1953," all are listed in the January, 1954, Schwann Long Playing Record Catalog and none are listed as new, so they would have been first listed some time between May, 1953, and December, 1953 (there were no new King listings in April, 1953). New 10-inch King releases were not added to the Schwann catalog after 1953.

The King discography appearing on the backs of the early 10 inch albums does not list releases between 21 and 63, nor does Michael Ruppli in his King Discography, which is based on files from King Records.

It now appears that at least some of those numbers were used for King issues, although apparently they were not manufactured by King Records. The 10-inch album issues between #21 and at least #63 appear to be the result of an agreement between Syd Nathan and Eli Oberstein of the Record Corporation of America in the 1951-1953 period. Syd Nathan evidently wanted to expand his musical genres from jazz, country and R&B into pop and classical, and the agreement with smooth-talking wheeler-dealer Oberstein seemed like a quick and easy way to do that. This agreement allowed King to release Varsity label records with King covers and labels. According to the Blue Pages web site by David Diehl, King 105-21 was the same as Varsity 6901 up to possibly King 105-73 which was Varsity 6953.

Nathan agreed to reserve his catalog numbers 21-63 for these Oberstein-manufactured clones of Varsity albums. Somehow the agreement wasn't perfectly clear, as Oberstein kept issuing King-jacketed versions of his Varsity records past the agreed-upon 105-63, going to about 105-73 and causing a numerical overlap between the Oberstein-manufactured 105-64 to 105-73 and King-manufactured 295-64 to 295-73. The latter were releases using King masters, not material from the Record Corporation of America.

King/Varsity back cover Whether King versions of all the Varsity albums between 6901 and 6953 were actually released is not known. What is not in doubt is that many of the numbers were issued with King covers. King K105-35 by the Harmonaires shows up occasionally at auction for high prices and several others are known to exist (see cover and label scans below).

The King records produced by Varsity had a list price of $1.05. While the records in this series were not recorded or manufactured by King, they were sold through King Distributors. The front cover carried the King logo printed on it instead of Varsity, and the back cover had a listing of the available albums between King K 105-21 and King K 105-63. (When Oberstein ran out of King-labeled records, he was known to sometimes substitute Varsity-labeled albums, so not all of the King covers have King labels inside.). The Varsity Christmas records and children's records are not known to have been released on King, and they were not included on the King discography printed on the back of the King/Varsity albums (shown at right). This includes numbers 25, 30, 32, 47, 50 and 51.

The Record Corporation of America also supplied a King classical 200 series in the 1951 to 1953 period. List price of these records was $2.69. This King series was made up of Record Corporation of America releases of their Allegro Royale 1200 series with King covers and probably King labels. Numbers are derived from the last three digits of Allegro Royale LP's, for example King 295-201 was Allegro Royale 1201. Most of the artist's credited on Oberstein's albums are pseudonyms for the real performers. Much of the material was from sources in Germany after World War II, with a good portion of it derived from transcriptions of live German radio broadcasts, taken from the recorded masters stored in the radio station archives. Oberstein was sued in the early 1950s by soloists whose voices could be recognized, and lost the case, but claimed he was duped by the people selling the recordings to him.

Lawsuits aside, Eli Oberstein had a reputation as one of the most unscrupulous record producers ever and most of his operations skirted the law, but stayed just inside the line. This included recording in Mexico during the artists' strike in World War II, and naming his company Record Corporation of America (RCA), hopefully to be confused with the "real" RCA, the Radio Corporation of America. About the only good thing you can say about the Oberstein records is that they did preserve some recordings that were lost in the chaotic aftermath of World War II. The problem for researchers is to figure out the names of the actual performers on the recordings. Some researchers have spent much time comparing the Allegro/Royale/Varsity/Ultraphonic recordings with others to obtain correct artist information.


The King 10 inch album label (far left) was dark red with silver printing, with "KING" in silver in a straight line at the top of the label. At the bottom of the label is "LONG PLAYING" between the LONG and PLAYING is 33 1/3 with a crown above it. The Varsity-manufactured King albums (near left) had a label similar to the regular King label, but more of a maroon color than red. The label also had some added verbiage near the top of the ring concerning patents, "Made in U.S.A.," and "Unbreakable in normal use."
The Federal 10 inch album label (far left) had a similar design to the King label, with "Federal" in script replacing "KING" at the top. The Federal label was green with silver print, and did not have the crown over 33 1/3. The DeLuxe 10 inch album label (near left) was green like the Federal label, with "DeLuxe" replacing "Federal" at the top.
For the 12-inch King Classical series, both maroon (far left) and red (near left) labels have been found.
