The Ideal label began releasing 78s in the late 1940's. When they switched to LPs (and 45s), their covers were
distinctive: a simple design featuring the artist's picture on a solid color background. Although I collected
Tejano music, it was years before I found any of their albums. This was because they were a regional label that
mainly catered to the Mexican American communities of South Texas, and they disbanded in 1960.
