Labelprofil

American record label, named after its founder Otto K. E. Heinemann (stylized "OkeH" or "OKeh").
Label Code: LC 0288 / LC 00288
For unofficial releases/bootlegs of Okeh, please use Okeh (3).

Launched by the Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Company, Inc., in 1918, Okeh records were initially produced as 10" vertical-cut discs bearing dark blue labels with an Indian head trademark. On October 1, 1919, the Heineman Corporation reorganized as the General Phonograph Corporation and vertical-cut discs were replaced with standard lateral-cut records. The Indian head label was replaced with a script trademark in 1920. Okeh released the first authentic vocal blues recording in November 1920 (Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues," on Okeh 4169), and became a leading producer of blues and rural American music during the 1920s.

The Okeh label was sold to Columbia Phonograph Company, Inc., in 1926, and came under control of the newly formed Okeh Phonograph Corporation. It operated more-or-less independently into the 1930s, maintaining its own studios, master numbering system, and artist and repertoire departments, even after its parent, Columbia Phonograph Company, Inc., was sold to the Grigsby-Grunow C
