ALSHIRE RECORDS

Chancellor records was established in Philadelphia in 1957 by Bob Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis. They were originally housed in a hotel which had a restaurant called the Chancellor Room, from that, they got their name. The record company benefitted from the exposure they were able to get on the locally-based but nationally broadcast American Bandstand, with Dick Clark (American's for always teenager). Almost from the start, Chancellor was distributed by ABC-Paramount Records.

The Chancellor record numbers below are given with the mono number (e.g., CHL-5011), followed by the stereo number (e.g., CHLS- 5011)

Remember that Audio Fidelity (AF) introduced stereo records in November 1957, and ABC-Paramount beat all of the major labels to the market with stereo records, having them in their 1958 June catalog, the others took until last summer or early fall of 1958 for their first stereo records to appear.

By July 1958, only the following labels had issued stereo records: Audio Fidelity, ABC-Paramount, Cook, Counterpoint, Hallmark, Period, Stereo, Stereovox, Urania, Vanguard, and World Wide. Most of these were dealing with classical music.
