New Orleans Records

The New Orleans Records label was founded and originally run by the writer and jazz discographer Orin Blackstone (1907–1980).

It was based in the book and record shop which Blackstone owned with his brother Harvey at 439 Baronne Street in New Orleans.

One of the earliest recordings on the New Orleans label was Johnny Wiggs performing "Bourbon Street Bounce" which had been written by Harvey Blackstone.

According to Charles Suhor in Jazz in New Orleans: The Postwar Years, the recording became a surprise hit on local radio.
