Homestead

U.S.A. record label, ca: 1927 - 1931.
Shellac, 10", 78 RPM releases.
This was produced by several companies for the Chicago Mail Order Company. The first series was produced by the Regal Record Company, Inc. and pressed by the Scranton Button Company. These drew from the same master pool as that used to produce Regal, Banner, Domino and related labels. Regal's successor, the American Record Corporation, continued the label, which again drew from Regal material. The label was mainly aimed at white rural buyers, although a smattering of current pop hits and race-records were also released, including several now-rare issues by Famous Hokum Boys.
