Part 2 of the Aladdin Records Story. Founded in 1945 by the two brothers Edward and Leo Mesner, it started out as Philo but changed its name to Aladdin after a lawsuit over the name. It soon started to focus on the blues and four of the performers featured today fall into the blues category. Lighnin' Hopkins joined Aladdin first and brought Peppermint Harris to Aladdin's attention and he was quickly signed. On the R&B side, The Five Keys shaped vocal R&B in the early 50's.

Gord: There is something off with the radio broadcast quality. The streaming quality is fine. The sound from the radio is crackly as if the speaker was blown.

7:31 AM, August 15th, 2026
Ron
Your voice over the air is fine but the music is definitely very off.

7:37 AM, August 15th, 2026
Gord Peeling (host)
Ron, just checking levels and computer hookups but nothing is obvious.

7:48 AM, August 15th, 2026
Gord Peeling (host)
The right channel seems to be very low on program and audition but not on switched??

7:53 AM, August 15th, 2026

Thanks Ron, now seems to be solved as I re-checked connections.

Listening online days after the show, and the sound is very faint. The recorded intro was full volume, but the show is low volume. Alas.
