Testament Records (USA)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Not to be confused with Testament Records, a British label which specializes in historical classical music recordings.

Testament Records was an American independent record label based in Philadelphia, later Chicago, then Pasadena, and founded in 1963 by Down Beat magazine editor and writer Pete Welding.

Specializing in American roots music, it released some thirty mainly blues, but also gospel, country and jazz albums until 1977.

In 1994 the Testament catalog was acquired by Hightone Records, which re-issued almost all the Testament albums on CD, adding previously unissued bonus tracks where available.
