Mirwood Records

Mirwood Records was an American record label founded by former Vee-Jay executive Randy Wood in Los Angeles in 1965.

It primarily released rhythm and blues and jazz recordings,[1] and has been described as "among the definitive Northern soul labels".

[2] Many of its records were written and produced by Fred Smith and arranged by James Carmichael, who (according to Jason Ankeny at AllMusic) "hone[d] a distinctive style all their own, creating soul music that was both relentlessly energetic and sweetly sophisticated, topped off by trademark vibes that evoked the otherworldly beauty of a Pacific Ocean sunset".

Other artists recorded on the Mirwood label included The Olympics and Bobby Garrett, the other half of Bob & Earl.

[1] Several compilations of Mirwood releases have been issued on CD.
