Grand Award Records was a pop, jazz, and gospel music record label founded by violinist and conductor Enoch Light in Harrison, New Jersey in 1955.
[1] Light used the liner notes to describe how the records were made and to advertise their importance by using words such as "acclaimed" and "approved by".
[2] The cover design consisted of a fake frame of black and white around a well-drawn illustration in the middle.
Among the pop records issued by the label are the Roaring Twenties series done by the Charleston City All Stars band conducted by Light.
For Command releases, he hired audio engineer Robert C. Fine to make audiophile recordings for pop and jazz fans rather than classical, where high fidelity was usually found.
