history
Vaden Records was founded in 1958 by DJ Arlen Vaden in Trumann , Arkansas. The name of the label goes back to his last name. The label's first artist was Bobby Brown , whose first single Down At Big Mary's House / I Get The Blues (At Midnight) (Vaden 45-100) was the label's first release. Vaden's catalog began at number 100 and ended at 306 in 1961. There was no separate studio; mostly the pieces were recorded in the studios of small radio stations in Arkansas.
In February 1960, Vaden made a mistake in the release of Teddy Redell's single Judy / Can't You See . Catalog number 116 was used, although this had already been used about three months earlier on a single by Jimmy Haggett . After the song was played well regionally in the jukeboxes , Atco Records took over the distribution of the Redell single.
Although there were already a few EPs among the first releases (Vaden 100 to 116) , an extra series, the EP 200 series, was later set up, which included records by Onie Wheeler , Hank Locklin and Maddox Brothers and Rose . From 1960, the singles were given catalog numbers from 300 upwards.
Vaden Records was closed in 1961. The last release was Bill Duniven's single One Has My Name / Knocking on the Backside (Vaden 306). In the previous four years, mostly rock and roll and rockabilly songs by Bobby Brown, Teddy Redell, Joyce Green , Bobby Lee Trammell , Larry Donn and Johnny Moore were released. Owner Arlen Vaden also recorded some gospel records with Jackie Vaden.
