Cook

Emory Cook's label was the most prolific issuer of 7" singles in Trinidad between 1957 and 1962, with approximately 400 singles being issued.

Many of the LPs on the label can be purchased on CD from the Smithsonian:

LPs seem to have been issued in both the Caribbean and the US, often in different sleeves.

For the moment, we are only able to list the 7" singles. This list is nowhere near complete! If you have any additions or corrections, please e-mail us at:
