Car-A-Mel colored vinyl. Operating in the farthest margins of L.A.'s cutthroat music business from 1961-1991, Mel Alexander's Consolidated Productions was among the longest running Black-owned independent record conglomerates of the 20th century.

Caught up in a confusing web of imprints - including Ajax, A ngel Town, Car-AMel, Emanuel, and Kris - this first volume gathers 28 smoldering R&B cuts by the likes of Lee Harvey, B.B.

Carter, Marilyn Calloway, Del Reys, Deb Tones, De Velles, Gene Russell's Trio, Jimmy "Preacher" Ellis, and Ty Karim.

Remastered from the original 1/4" tapes, Consolidated Productions Vol. I includes carefully researched annotation, discography, and photographs from a vital producer.
