has gloss | eng: Early years National Recording Corporation was incorporated in Atlanta in 1958. Founders were Bill Lowery, at the time the number one Country Music disc jockey and already a successful music publisher, and Boots Woodall, whose band recorded for Capitol, King, and Bullet Records and performed on Atlanta TV. A group of businessmen headed by Ray Griggers and Chic Thompson, approached Lowery with the query, "How much would it take to set up a real record company?" One million dollars was reportedly the sum proposed. Griggers group took over stock sales for the company, but by April 27, 1961, according to the US Bankruptcy archives, the company was in bankruptcy. During the first three years NRC was in business, the company included a record pressing plant, a record distributorship, as well as a recording studio, which boasted a studio band that included NRC artists Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed, and Joe South. |
