Frankie Records released nineteen singles (all recorded at Capitol Studios in New York City) of a wide variety of music by talented “locals”. Although the label is no longer in business, the recordings are still enjoyed today by listeners and in some cases (#FR-6), and avidly sought after by collectors.
