ALADDIN RECORDS was one of the earliest indie labels in Los Angeles to specialise in Blues, R&B, R&R, Hillbilly and other non-mainstream musical genres.  Originally formed in 1945 as Philo Records, the 30 tracks on this unique set feature an eclectic range of both well-known and obscure performers. Highlights include Sugar Pie DeSanto with an early rocker, Chicago soul icon Harold Burrage with a pre-soul side & be bop drummer Jack "The Bear" Parker with a solid slider..............
