Mainstream Records was a record label established by Bob Shad in 1964. Throughout a 15 year period, Mainstream released an incredible amount of vintage and new recordings covering a wide range of musical genres ranging from classic early jazz recordings, blues, new jazz and the rock and roll of the late '60s. →
Artists such as Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday, Lightning Hopkins, Roy Haynes, Janis Joplin and The Amboy Dukes all found Mainstream Records to be an important outlet for the release of their music.
