Thanks.

I don't think the 4-Star label was recording as early as the '30s.
Started around '44 or something like that I think.

[AmsterdamBobby]

You're absolutely correct. The 4Star label began in 1945. I have
verified that just this morning with David Barnes of Kent, Britain, an
authority on all the old 78 rpm labels.

[Peter Feldmann]

Yes, and I believe it was one of the very first labels based in
Los Angeles. I believe there was some connection to the ban on
recording during WW II. Capitol records came into being
shortly thereafter.
