Oriole Records (U.S.)

Oriole Records was an American record label founded in 1921 by McCrory's stores. The Oriole label first appeared in 1921, selling for 25 cents per disc record. Originally, Oriole records were pressed by the Cameo Record Company (generally not from Cameo material, however), but this arrangement lasted briefly. Most of the masters were leased from other labels, early on mostly Emerson.
