Something Missing?

This is about the record label active from the 1950s to the 1970s! There was also a Bell Records during the 1920s and yet another Bell Records during the 1940s. In addition, Bell was also a custom label active in the 1940s for recordings by Benny Bell.

Bell Records was an American record label founded in 1952 in New York City by Arthur Shimkin, the owner of the children's record label Golden Records, and initially a unit of Pocket Books, after the rights to the name were acquired from Benny Bell who used the Bell name to issue risque novelty records. A British branch was also active in the 1960s and 1970s. Bell Records was reorganized in November 1974, which was the birth of Arista Records.
