Romeo Records

Romeo Records was an American jazz record label that started in 1926 as a subsidiary of Cameo Records.

The discs were sold exclusively at S. H. Kress & Co. department stores[1] and retailed for 25 cents each.

In 1931 Romeo was acquired by the American Record Corporation and continued through 1938 until the cessation of ARC's dime-store labels: (Perfect, Melotone, Banner, and Oriole).

From the beginning, Romeo discs had a maroon label.

It was changed to a black label in 1931 and then became blue in 1935.
