Jack Bee

1950s-1960s label from Downey, California.

Wenzel’s Music Town on Lakewood Blvd. in Downey, CA was founded by Bill Wenzel in time for the Christmas season of 1958. By early 1959, the store, operated by Wenzel’s son Jack, had become successful enough that they were able to start their own label, "Jack Bee" (for Jack and Bill), which issued a half dozen releases before being changed to Dot Records.
