Original Sound Records was started in the early 1950's by California disc jockey
Art Laboe who popularized the "oldies but goodies" format on radio "KPOP" during the "Art Laboe Show".
Though compilation albums of older material are now commonplace, Laboe was among the first (if not the first) to license material from several labels for the first successful "oldies" albums to hit the market, releasing the compilations on the
Original Sound label.
In 1963 the
Original Sound studio gained the engineering and production skills of
Paul Buff.
The
Original Sound studio was situated at 8510 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California, U.S.A.
7120 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif. 90046, U.S.A.
