RCA Camden was a budget record label of RCA Victor, originally created in 1953 to reissue recordings from earlier 78rpm releases. The label was named “Camden”, after Camden, New Jersey where the offices, factories and studios of RCA Victor and its predecessor, the Victor Talking Machine Company had been located since 1901. In the mid 1950s, RCA Camden began releasing some rhythm & blues and, later, pop, country and rock and roll recordings. Produced by Anita Kerr, an American singer, arranger, composer, conductor, pianist, and music producer. She recorded and performed with her vocal harmony groups (The Anita Kerr Singers) in Nashville, Los Angeles, and Europe. Bought from Discogs seller americantapes.*
