Found this on Detroit Yes this afternoon.

It has a link to a Googlemap and list of record labels in Detroit, with thumbnail histories. Someone went through a lot of work to do this......

Robb - that is an incredible list. As I believe I mentioned I have an interest in Diamond Jim, and I'm really curious about Velgo as well. Have you been able to unearth anything in the years since this post? I am considering heading down to Detroit to check out probate records for Jim Riley.

Memory. But, I could just look through my record shelves and list a few hundred more.
