United Artist

United Artist Records in Hollywood "was whipped together" from a variety of smaller record firms, including Hucksters, Rhapsody, Excelsior, Eagle, Minor, Hits, Urban, and Bell. In the fall of 1947, the firm also absorbed bankrupt Enterprise Records.

As soon as May 1948, however, the label was in financial trouble itself and forced to sell all its holdings to satisfy creditors.
