Discography of the Camay Label [1963] The Camay label was started by Don Ames and Hal Weiss in 1961. The label was based in New York City in the Brill Building at 1721 Broadway. Camay issued singles in 1961, 1962 and 1963 and seemed to disappear prior to 1964. In 1963, the label focused on issuing budget albums. I believe the entire LP output was issued that year, most if not all of the material was leased from other labels and not recorded directly by Camay. In spite of being a budget label, they did produce a few good albums. The first release was a compilation of country music that included two rare sides by Bill Haley. Perhaps the best album on the label was “12 Collectors Goodies” CA 3012, with great pictures of vintage sports cars on the cover. This record contains some of the finest doo-wop put to vinyl and some very rare songs, Lynn McCutcheon in his book “Collecting Doo-Wop Compilations” calls this one of the 25 best doo-wop compilations ever produced. “12 Million Record Sellers” CA 3010 is also an excellent compilation, although it contains more commonly available material. The first Camay label was red with black printing. “CAMAY” above the center hole. The second Camay label was silver with black printing. “camay” on a record overlapping a globe above the center hole.
