Fire Records
American record label From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fire Records was an American independent record label, set up in 1959 by Bobby Robinson. Amongst others, it released records by Lightnin' Hopkins, Elmore James, Buster Brown and Arthur Crudup. At one point it was thought Fire had issued the last commercial 78rpm disc in the United States. Although this has been disproven, the label is still known for their late-issue 78s.[1]
