Everest

Profile:

US label.
Label Code: LC 0713 / LC 00713
Everest (also Edward Wallerstein was made VP over Belock Instruments which included the Everest label. He had big plans including a future pressing plant (once the pressing technology caught up to their advanced recording equipment. Of course, this never materialized and all of their records were pressed by Decca even after they stopped using Decca for distribution. In September 1960, Leroy Holmes left MGM and ed Everest as GM. Along with Charles Hasin, their goal was to push pop instead of classical as had been their previous model.
The label was sold to Belock Instrument Corporation, on February 20, 1962. Solomon relocated the label to Los Angeles, California and formed a new corporation - Everest Enterprises, Inc.
Solomon was president and in May 1962, he appointed Harvey Goldstein as assistant to the President and A&R and Charles Hasin remained on as national sales manager (having come over to Everest from Cosnat Record Distributing Corporation in Los Angeles, Pan-American in Miami and Melody Sales in San Francisco.
In September 1962, in addition to their own Everest Distribution, they changed distributors for LA (California Record Distributors), Bold Distributors for Miami and Mainland Distributing for San Francisco. Other companies they used were Clef Distributors, and their own Esoteric Distributing Company (at least by 1964).
In January 1963, Everest took over the distribution of Gloria Lynne.

Any label with the California address on it (8373 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles) is post buyout from the Belock years.
The label was originally dedicated mainly to high-quality classical recordings, but Solomon turned it into a budget label. In 1993, Classic Records has been issuing some of the original recordings.
