KENT RECORDS
 
 
Kent Records  was a Los Angeles-based record label, launched in the late 1950s by the Bihari brothers.  It was a follow-up to the bankrupted Modern Records and reissued Modern’s records.  It was later bought by Ace Records, England, which uses the label name to release Motown and Northern Soul music.  The label issued Luke “Long Gone” Miles’ 1969 single, “Hello Josephine”/“Little Sweet Thing”, as well as many releases from B. B. King and Lowell Fulsom.  (More from Wikipedia)

In 2007Kent Records put together a CD called The Right Tracks, covering 29 of the recordings that Billy Butler made at Okeh Records.
