Bethlehem Records (US jazz label, active 1950s–)

~ Label

Annotation

Most of what I know is available in the very short Wikipedia article.
There should be at least one Charles Mingus release here.
Charly UK bootleg company is known to pillage Bethlehem catalog nowadays.
Catalog has been reissued in better conditions by Rhino, and Avenue Jazz lately created a new imprint Bethlehem Archives dedicated to reissuing the catalog.
