Bullet Records was one of the first, and initially one of the most successful of the post World War II independent record labels. The venture was started in 1945 by Jim Bulliet and partners Wally Fowler (a musician) and C.V. Hitchcock (a businessman). The company ambitiously intended to record Pop, Country Music, Gospel and Rhythm & Blues. In 1946, Francis Craig s recording of Near You became the biggest selling record of that year. The label released its last records in 1952 and folded a little over a year later. Since very little of the recordings were done on tape (a fairly new medium at the time), some of the metal masters were sold off and the rest were discarded. It never occurred to anyone involved that there might be interest in these records years later. They initially attended to the song publishing rights, but even those copyrights were eventually not renewed. It was almost as if Bullet Records had never existed...............FOUR OF THESE TRACKS DID NOT APPEAR ON THE MASSIVE BEAR FAMILY SET " NASHVILLE JUMPS".....
