Audiophile Records
Audiophile Records was a 1947 by the recording engineer, electronics specialist and inventor Ewing Dunbar Nunn (1900-1977) founded label for new recordings of Dixieland Jazz . Based in Saukville, Wisconsin, they released about 100 albums under Nunn. They tried to achieve high recording quality and initially recorded in mono instead of stereo, because they thought this was of better quality at the time. In 1966, Jim Cullum Jr. took over the label in San Antonio and in particular released recordings of his own happy jazz band . However, Nunn remained recording engineer, who also moved to San Antonio in the late 1960s. Jazzology acquired the label and catalog in the mid-1970s and has continued to run it as a sub-label for performers and singers of the Great American Songbook to this day .
The catalog includes Maxine Sullivan , Bob Wilber , Lee Wiley , Helen Forrest , Dick Haymes , Bobby Troup , Claire Austin , Margaret Whiting , Sandra King , Dolly Dawn , Ronny White , Chris Connor and Dorothy Donegan .
