Comments
Label formed by Arthur Shimkin and bankrolled by the prominent book publishers Simon and Schuster. Based in New York City, it specialized in budget-priced covers of current hits. The label's in-house art department innovatively designed double-sided full-color picture sleeves for most of its singles so they stood out on the grocery stores and bookstore racks where Bell releases were sold. Bell used top New York session musicians (including bandleader Sy Oliver, guitarists Al Caiola and Billy Mure, pianist Dick Hyman and drummer Panama Francis), so the musical quality was solid.
