Majestic Records

Majestic Records was a mid-20th century New York City based record label. The label enjoyed its greatest commercial success in the 1940s, until over-ambitious expansion and an inability to keep distributors supplied with pressings of discs resulted in financial problems, and the label folded in 1948.
For a time in the 1940s bandleader Ben Selvin headed the label's artists & repertory. The company was headed by former New York City mayor Jimmy Walker.
Artists who recorded on Majestic included Louis Prima, Bud Freeman, Slim Bryant, Eddy Howard, The Four Shades of Rhythm, and The Four Suns.
