Red Robin Records was a record label that began in 1951 as "Robin Records" in New York. Owner Bobby Robinson was unaware that another company was already using the name "Robin" and after about four releases was forced to change to "Red Robin" to avoid litigation. Robinson also opened Fury Records in late 1956 and Fire Records in 1959.

And another at my feet;
And lay my bent bow at my side,
Which was my music sweet;
And make my grave of gravel and green,
Which is most right and meet.”

“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
