The Three Suns Play - Royale Records 45 RPM EP 206




Here are four selections from The Three Suns' Majestic Records recording sessions before their signing onto RCA Records.

Royale Records was king of the junk budget record labels of the 1950s. Eli Oberstein flooded the market with a seemingly endless stream of records in virtually all standard speeds and sizes for records of the period, except for 16 2/3 rpm, sadly. I find most eBay sellers think these are worth money; they are not, at least not more than a couple of dollars. 

Eli Oberstein benefited greatly from acquiring several defunct record labels that happened to have sides recorded by big names. Majestic records was a star-studded record label that initially had everything going for it until it fell apart and closed shop in 1947. Majestic Records had artists like Percy Faith, The Three Suns, Louis Prima, Georgia Gibbs, and many more artists, many of which were still making new content in the 1950s and had perhaps grown in popularity since their Majestic Record days.
