[ARSCLIST] Gotham Records and Goody Records

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Gotham Records 78-RPM disk, part of an album of Don Jose rhumbas and sambas, that has the 
top of label with the Gotham emblem obviously pasted on top of the original label. Underneath is the 
song info and then across the bottom in small print is Goody Record Corp. Was Goody the original 
company or did Gotham buy out Goody or license Goody sides? Was this Goody the original Sam Goody 
himself?

I would date this album from the late 1940's. Gotham Album Series G-1, "Rhumbas y Sambas Played by 
Don Jose and his Orchestra". The other three disks in the set are Gotham original labels. The first 
three disks are Gotham 101, 102 and 103. The fourth disk, with the pasted Gotham emblem on top is 
3004, I'm assuming that's the Goody catalog number.

Thanks for any/all info.
