A 1960s garage rock label from Nashville with only a few known releases: Rick Douglas, Bobby Brinkley and the Squires, and the Anglo Saxons.

Bobby Brinkley provided some production credit on several releases for Southern City Records, including for The Paramount Four. and also recorded on his own elsewhere.

The 45s of the Squires and the Anglo Saxons give production credit to DJ Lee Dorman, who also owned and ran the label. A lifelong devotee to radio broadcasting, Lee Dorman would later go on to own his own radio station, WQKR, in Portland, TN and maintain a website detailing the history of Nashville broadcasting. In fact, Dorman wrote the book on the topic, Nashville Broadcasting, published in 2009.
