ABSTRACT
A New York record emporium opened in January 1927. The shop began to issue records around 1933, featuring Broadway musicals, with some jazz and sophisticated vocal or dance material. About 214 78-rpm records were released under the Liberty Music Shop label, plus 10 LP reissues, through the late 1940s. Studio facilities were provided by Columbia and American Record Corp. Among the artists to appear on the label were Ethel Waters, Beatrice Lillie, Ethel Merman, Lee Wiley, Cy Walter, and Gracie Fields. [Raymond 1981 is a complete label list.]
