| 释义 |
HistoryDomino Records was formed in 1957 by eleven classmates of a night-school course in music marketing, each of whom contributed a weekly sum of five dollars for corporate expenses.[2] The most commercially successful record released by Domino was by a Caucasian doo-wop quartet originally named "The Spades", who soon changed their name to Slades since their original name was sometimes construed as a racial slur.[2] The 1958 single "You Cheated" was a hit in Texas and drew the attention of much larger labels interested in national distribution.[2] The biggest interest came from Dot Records, but Domino declined the distribution deal, deciding they wanted hire their own distributor and keep the group on Domino.[2] The chosen distributor did not meet expectations, and copies intended for the national market remained in storage.[2] Rebuffed, Dot then recorded their own group named "The Sheilds" to cover the Slades' song.[2] Dot's version charted on Billboard at number 12, while the original just reached number 42.[2] In 1959, the label put out a call to young artists local to Austin, hoping to find additional new talent.[3] By the end of 1959 all but three of the original partners had departed, leaving the label moribund. These three, Anne Miller, Kathy Parker and Lora Jane Richardson, decided to re-start the label in 1960 and expand into new genres.[2] The label, which encouraged its artists to self-pen their material, retained publishing rights to original songs.[2] This decision led to an infusion of funds when The Fleetwoods covered the Slades' first recording "You Mean Everything to Me" as the B-side of "Mr. Blue."[2] Otherwise success eluded the label, and it closed in 1961.[2] LegacyDomino Records is considered Austin's first noteworthy record label.[2] Sonny Rhodes felt that he was treated more fairly at Domino Records than he was with several other labels he recorded for.[4]In 1998 Ace Records released The Domino Records Story, a compilation of the label's releases.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web |title=Recording Industry |url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/ebr02 |last=Hickinbotham |first=Gary S. |work=Handbook of Texas Online |publisher=Texas State Historical Association |accessdate=April 6, 2013}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 {{cite web |url=http://www.austin360.com/news/entertainment/music/little-indie-label-domino-laid-down-austin-sound-1/nRtMQ/ |title=Little indie label Domino laid down Austin sounds before scene's heyday |last=Corcoran |first=Michael |date=June 5, 2010 |publisher=Austin American-Statesman |accessdate=April 6, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news |last=Bustin |first=John |date=November 24, 1959 |title=Local Record Company Looking for New Talent |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/385941149 |work=The Austin American |location= |via=newspapers.com|subscription=yes}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Skelly |first=Richard |date=November 11, 2004 |title=On the Road With Sonny Rhodes |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/144914482 |work=Asbury Park Press |location=Asbury Park, New Jersey |via=newspapers.com|subscription=yes}} 6 : Record labels established in 1957|Record labels disestablished in 1961|Defunct record labels of the United States|Record labels based in Texas|1957 establishments in Texas|1961 disestablishments in Texas |
