Broadway Records (1920s)
Broadway Records was the name of an American record label in the 1920s and 1930s. Broadway's records were first manufactured in the early 1920s by the Bridgeport Die and Machine Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Most of the early issues were from masters recorded by Paramount Records. Starting in 1924, masters from the Emerson and Banner appeared on Broadway. When Bridgeport Die and Machine went bankrupt in 1925, the Broadway label was acquired by the New York Recording Laboratories (NYRL), which, despite what the name suggests, was located in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

Broadway Records (1947)
Broadway Records was a record label founded in 1947. Vincent Puccio Sr. founded the new label in Los Angeles. His brother, Gasper, played a key role in the early years and went on to found Houston Records in 1958. The Broadway disc label was maroon with silver script. Sometimes "Value" appeared under the cursive "Broadway". Value Hit Parade Tunes was another label owned by Puccio. Both labels were found on millions of 78s, 45s, and LPs. By 1989, with the emergence of the compact disc, Broadway Records was out of business. Both catalogues were sold to 108th Street Records. It was unrelated to the previous record company of the same name.
