Dore
Doré Records Ltd, Inc. was formed in Hollywood in 1958 by Herb Newman and Louis Bideu (AKA Lew Bedell) as a companion to their ERA Records label. Doré was pronounced "Dorrie" by the people who worked at the label, and the name is often written without the accent, "Dore".
A&R for the Doré label was by Lou Adler and Herb Alpert. Doré recorded popular, rock and roll, rhythm and blues and comedy records. In June 1959, Bedell and Newman split, with Newman buying Bedell's interest in Era and selling his interest in Doré Records to Bedell.
For all unofficial / bootleg releases of this label please use Dore (3).
