- The_Swaggie_Records_Label abstract "The Swaggie Records Label was established in Australia in 1949 by the fivemembers of the Graeme Bell co-operative band, Graeme and Roger Bell, AdeMonsbourgh, Don "Pixie" Roberts and Lou Silbereisen, who registered asthe proprietors of the business name Swaggie.During the 1940s, the Metropole Hotel in Bourke Street, Melbourne, wasa popular drinking bar for Melbourne jazz musicians and friends. GraemeBell and his musicians were among the regular patrons and it was herethat discussions on forming the band’s own record label were commenced.The name Swaggie was chosen, and a fellow patron, commercial artist TimNichol, drew the original Swagman and Dog logo.The first recordings for the Swaggie label were made with the GraemeBell Australian Jazz Band at the AWA Sydney studio on 24 October 1949.Between November 1949 and September 1950, Swaggie held several GraemeBell band recording sessions in the Melbourne studio of BroadcastExchange of Australia (BEA) to build a library of master recordings, andfrom these masters five 10-inch 78 rpm records, numbered S1 to S5, weremanufactured and distributed for retail sale.In late 1952 a decision was made to wind-up the co-operative band andthe Swaggie business was sold to Nevill L. Sherburn. For some monthsNevill had been corresponding with Milt Gabler, founder of CommodoreRecords and United Hot Clubs of America labels in the USA,who was mosthelpful and encouraging to Nevill’s endeavour to produce a similarlabel in Australia with Swaggie.All the existing Swaggie 78 rpm masters, issued and unissued, weretransferred to magnetic tape masters by Nevill Sherburn for release on10-inch LP and 7-inch EP albums with covers designed by Clement Meadmore. Inaddition, two 10-inch 78 rpm records (S7 and S8) by Duke Ellington and hisKentucky Club Orchestra 1926-1927 were pressed on vinyl and released.During its first decade Swaggie was devoted mainly to the documentationof Australian jazz, especially the traditional revival, and continuedthis role into the 1980s. However, the label became more widely knowninternationally in the early 1960s when it issued the extensive JazzCollector Series of vintage jazz reissues, on 7-inch 33 1/3 LPs. Thismaterial, drawn from major American companies, was obtained by leasingagreements with their Australian branches and agents. This series wassucceeded in January 1966 with a similar series of 12-inch LPs, The JazzMakers, which drew mainly on American and European labels.In 1980 an additional 12-inch LP series, Vintage Jazz Archives, wasintroduced and devoted to the definitively programmed chronologicalreissues of early jazz.Swaggie has recorded visiting jazz artists in Australia and participatedin international recording sessions, especially in New York and NewOrleans, to form an extensive jazz archive.Introduction of the Compact Disc Digital Audio System and the use ofdigital recording technology during remastering of the original analogmaster tapes for CD replication has enabled Nevill Sherburn to expandthe Swaggie catalogue.".
