"THE LANOR RECORDS STORY" 1960-1992

Retrospective of Louisiana producer Lee LaVergne and his Lanor label features Shirley Bergeron, Charles Mann, Donald Jacobs, Elton Anderson, Drifting Charles and many others. Re-mastered from the original analog tapes, this collection takes the listener through swamp pop, R&B, soul and zydeco. Slipcased CD includes a 28-page full color booklet, historic photographs and a fully researched story. (Amazon)Lanor Records was founded in 1960 to capitalize on the burgeoning Cajun music market emanating from Louisiana's bayou region. In its first decade, the label is credited with launching the careers of countless Crescent City artists. Following the death of Lee LaVergne in 1998, Lanor's back catalog was eventually acquired by the heir of New Orleans' All South Distribution Company, Warren Hildebrand. The imprint presently operates out of Jennings, Louisiana along with its sister companies, Sound Center Recorders, Swimal Music BMI, & The Sound Center.
