Bandbox Records

Bandbox Records was a small independent record label based in Denver, Colorado and owned by Vicki Morosen which she operated between 1954 and 1972. She had originally purchased a record company called Columbine Records in the early 50's, but Columbia Records thought that the name sounded too close to theirs and requested that she change it, which she reluctantly did.
Bandbox concentrated on Denver's local musicians and many Rockabilly and Hot Rod instrumental discs have become quite collectable today.

My good friend and entertainer, Duncan Tuck had his first recording on Band Box after winning a local Denver music competition in the late 1960's. "Cold and Dusty Morning" was the title of the A side. Duncan went on perform professionally, first in clubs and the comedy circuits. He performed with David Letterman, Robin Williams, Lily Tomlin and others in their early days, appeared in the movie "Fandango" and won the Gong Show. He presently performs music and comedy on cruise ships, 50 weeks and of the year and has several CD's produced that showcase his great talents. Run and internet search for his website.
