deemo310 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hello...I would LOVE some info on this particular Rinx Record. I'm an avid record collector and haven't seen this one before. I emailed the label and they provided the below info... any other info would be greatly appreciated. Collectible? valuable? Pictures below: It is record #240 from the label. Side 240-A ST. LOUIS BLUES (Handy) 92 Blues Organist: Fred Bergin (ASCAP) Side 240-B BASIN STREET BLUES n(Williams) 92 Blues Organist: Lee White (ASCAP) (If the label that you have reads Fred Bergin Organist it is a printing error) The two songs were recorded 1955, only 3 copies left. Fred Bergin was the founder of Rinx Records which he started in 1950 out of Denver Colorado. During the 1950’s & 60’s he hired various organists to record for him. Lee White is a lady organist.

Rinx Collector Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi there, What were you needing to know. That is definitely a very late repressing of the record. The originals were all red vinyl in the early years. The Red vinyl with kinda greyish labels were original in those years until they made the labels more off yellowish. All 45 pressings were on red vinyl until they started using blue on Blues , Yellow on Waltzes, Purple for Tango's , Marches were Green. Later on they went the cheap way as they started using all black vinyl and started color coding the labels instead. But all Rinx Records were pressed on high quality vinyl. No rotten Polystyrene which are thicker than vinyl and non flex and the labels always have bubbles under them. EEck! If you need I can submit some pix of the same record showing each variation so you can tell originals from second pressings. I bought the vault out at Rinx some years ago. Lee White was married to a brain surgeon ,fantastic organists. I alway's liked Jimmy Caro's tunes too. Rinx # 280 "Kitten On The Key's" has hidden from me for decades. Dominic even checked with old rinks to see if he could find one. Answer. No. I have the one from my dad's skating rink but I cracked it by accident. It still will play but I play it on a really cheap player and not a expensive Magnetic cartridge. I have thousands of the Rinx. Most all new unplayed. They were under the rink floor in the Moonlight Roller Rink. They are fantastic folk's. Kinda the end of an era. I have a bit of memorabilia from Rinx records as well.

Musichunter Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I recently purchased a box of twenty four rinx records. They are 45's and twenty two of those are colored. The original box came from California direct from rinx records. Didn't know if there are collectors looking for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
