Jamie Records
Jamie Records was a record label founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1957 by Harold Lipsius.
Their first 45rpm single, "It's Great To Fall In Love"/"Truly" by Marian Caruso (Jamie 1033), was issued in 1957.
The label hit the big time in 1958 with the release of Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser"/"Stalkin'" (Jamie 1104), which reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Eddy became the mainstay Jamie artist, recording hit after hit, unprecedented for an instrumentalist. These included "Because They're Young" (#4) and "Forty Miles of Bad Road" (#9). He single-handedly turned Jamie into one of the most successful independent labels of its day during his tenure there. Eddy's last Jamie single "Runaway Pony"/"Just Because" (Jamie 1224) was issued in 1962.
Another Jamie group were the Jordan Brothers from Frackville, Pennsylvania. Their first release was "Send Me Your Picture" and their biggest hit "Gimme Some Lovin'” was released in the US before the more successful version by the Spencer Davis Group. The Jordans toured with Dick Clark’s Caravan of Stars bus tour and appeared on numerous Philadelphia and New Jersey-based TV shows.
