Not much details on this Crestview, Florida, based label. It is not to be confused with Apache Records from New York City or another company of the same name from Los Angeles. The label was set up probably in 1960 with headquarter on 106 N. Main Street in Crestview. Billboard featured the company in its June 13, 1960, issue as a new "record manufacturer." There was no mention of an owner or artists. That same year, an ad appeared, advertising Clinton Brooks' record on Apache, which was nationally distributed by Discmaker's Production Company from New York City.

The 1500 seroes appears to be Doo-wop the 1700 series seems to be Black Rockin' BLues
1800 seriers White R'N'R
I guess there is a 1600 series as well?
MY work on the label can be found here http://www.rockhall.ro/forums/index.php?topic=32795.
Concepts and Sweet Marquees on earlier (not related) Apache label out of New-York.
Crook Jr is 1786. Likely from the same session as Clifford King (two primitive blues)
No actual series here. Release numbers were allocated by RCA custom division when the owner didn't have one. This is case here : RCA are simply taking the last four digits of the master number of side A.
Thanks for the correcting Bob, Dean
Does anyone have any more information about this label? I live in Crestview and I have never even heard about this label until today. I think this is amazing.
