How is the label name pronounced?? O-kay? O-kee? o-KUH?
Other Okeh Records, for expansion of article or seperate label page (to do)
Early lateral "Blue Indian" label, c. late 1919-1920
Early 1920s acoustically recorded label. This is by Johnny Dedroit, recorded in New Orleans
While correct *for the company itself*, the claim that Okeh was inventing something new when they started doing location recording with portable equipment in 1922 is ridiculous. Especially in the earliest days of commercial disc recording, it had always been easier and more economic to have the engineers travel to the artists than the other way round. The Gramophone Co.'s senior recording expert, Fred Gaisberg, had travelled all over Europe making recordings since 1899, and had reached as far as China and Japan by 1903. The real oddity is not that Okeh covered many recording locations throughout the USA, but that Victor, Edison and Columbia had failed to do so (leading to the curious fact that we have practically only East Coast, especially New York artists on record for the 1900 - 1920 era). 94.223.171.7 ( talk) 10:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
If you look at Amazon UK's listing for Okeh artist Major Lance, they are on the Sony Music owned Epic label. The Sony Music Entertainment article shows with citation that EMI's rights to the Okeh catalog in the UK expired in 1968. Steelbeard1 ( talk) 19:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No move. Cúchullain t/ c 14:16, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

OKeh Records – Now that Sony Music has revived the OKeh Records imprint yet again and has the official URL of
http://www.okeh-records.com which identifies itself as "OKeh Records", should the name of this article officially be OKeh Records with the K capitalized?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Okeh Records. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{ Sourcecheck}}).

Section 5 above requests new section for discussion of move.
Suggestion: How about using disambiguation of those CamelCase{(?) OKeh, OkeH spellings that refer back to this page? I'm a Wiki rookie but seems like that could be a fix.
