Black Label Record Series
They established their second QRS label in 1928 which was run by Arthur Satherly, who had been an executive at Paramount Records. Their studio was located in Long Island City, New York using the New York Gennett recording studio (who pressed their records), Clarence Williams was involved with them as Musical Director during this period. There was a 7000 series for jazz and blues, as well as a 9000 series for country and rural folk. Among the artists who recorded for QRS were Ed Bell, Clarence Williams, Clifford Gibson, South Street Ramblers, Earl Hines, James "Stump" Johnson, Sara Martin, Anna Bell and Edith North Johnson, as well as the preacher Missionary Josephine Miles.
The audio quality of the 1928 QRS records is average for independent record labels of the period. As they were produced at Gennett's New York studio and were pressed by Gennett, they were identical in quality to 1928 Gennett records. There were no QRS records produced after about April, 1929.
