Van Recording
1960s-1970s label from Lake Jackson, Texas.
Owned by Charles and Bobby Vanmeter, two brothers from Longview, in the back of their music store. Both men ran the small studio where they used a Roberts 4 track recorder to record local acts from Angleton, Clute, West Colombia and Freeport. The two brothers took on an accountant to help with the business side of the label named Lonnie Roberts, who was also an accountant for Dow Chemical at the time. Lonnie’s address was used occasionally, which is why you see Angleton, Texas on the labels and not Lake Jackson.
