General Records

General Records

General Records was a small United States based record label of the late 1930s and early 1940s.

General Records were made by Consolidated Records Incorporated of New York City. The audio fidelity is above average for the era, and most General discs were pressed in good quality shellac, although the quality declined as good shellac became scarce with the start of World War II.

The most famous General Records are a series of recordings by Jelly Roll Morton, later reissued by Commodore Records.
