I think if we go Chess/Checker it could beat Sun/Phillips. There is also

Chess/Checker/Argo released lots of great records in the 60s. Sun's last
great release was in 1958.

Roger, I know you record collector types want to keep this to the actual
label rather than all labels that each company used, but I don't agree
with that.

I understand that, but different labels issued by the same company are
just semantics and trivia. I'm a lot more interested in which record

Sam Phillips is gaining an advantage here because his output wasn't big
enough to require a second label until after the company's prime was
just about over.
Not so. He had a subsidary label running in 1955
