High Society Records

[eighteenbelow]

I found these two discs in a large box of pre-war 78's I was sorting through, and have never seen anything like them before. I assume they're not pre-war; a Google search of "High Society Records" brings up very little (almost all hits concern the 1956 Bing Crosby/Frank Sinatra/Grace Kelly film) but there was one site that referred to these as "risque" records, which would explain the plain white label. I haven't had time to listen to them yet, but I am wondering if anyone knows anything at all about this label: When was it in business? Where were they located? How many records did it produce? And how/where were they sold?

These are known as "party" records. They have somewhat goofy, double entendre stories that are risque for the time period, not so much now... Listen to them and you will see what I mean. They were produced under various generic labels, probably nothing you have heard of.
