Broadway Records
As the 12000 race series sold well, Paramount's 20000 popular series floundered. Paramount turned to their dime-store label, Broadway, a label taken over by Paramount following the collapse of Bridgeport Die & Machine Company in 1924. Besides making their own recordings of regional bands and popular artists, Broadway issued scores of records from leased master including those from Emerson, Banner and later Crown. Alternate takes were often found on Broadway. (Based on the number of Broadway Records still found in junk shops, they appeared to have sold rather well.)
