Durium

Durium Records was founded in 1920 in the United States, initially focusing on the production of records made from a unique composite material, which allowed for a more affordable and durable product. The label gained prominence in the 1930s and 1940s, particularly for its catalog of popular music, including jazz, swing, and early rhythm and blues. Notable artists associated with Durium included the likes of The Three Suns, whose instrumental pop music resonated with the public during the post-war era. The label also released recordings featuring various regional artists, contributing to the diversity of American music. Durium's innovative approach to record production and marketing helped shape the industry, particularly in the realm of budget records. Although the label eventually faded in the 1950s, its impact on the music landscape and its role in promoting accessible music remains a significant part of its legacy.
