alvina

Corporate background:

An obscure pop music label formed around 1954 in Canada.

Ron Hall, author of "The CHUM Chart Book" writes: “I am not familiar with the Alvina label your site shows. The label color is similar to the Reo label and the typesetting is consistent with Quality Records although there is no mention of Quality Records. The label . . . may have been a custom pressing made by Quality but not a label from the Quality stable. The label and matrix number shows there were only 15 releases to date.”
