| | The values quoted below are typical prices paid at a British record fair stall where the stall-holder knows the demand for music and records, and they are for records in 'very good' VG to E- condition as excellent condition Okeh records are difficult to find. | | | There will be some records by the same artistes worth more or less, depends on the quality of the music and on how many copies of the records were sold. | | | Some great jazz and blues appeared on Okeh and the content is usually obvious from the details printed on the labels, but often unusual names and pseudonyms were used for bands so there are many surprises to be found. |

| | After the commercial failure of the resulting disc and OKeh records going out of business during the depression, Hurt returned to Avalon and obscurity working as a sharecropper and playing local parties and dances. | | | When Narmour got a chance to record for OKeh Records in reward for winning first place in a 1928 fiddle contest, Narmour recommended John Hurt to OKeh Records producer Tommy Rockwell. | | | A soft-spoken man, his nature was reflected in the work, which remained a mellow mix of country, blues and old time music to the end. |

| | OKEH RECORDS: The Origins of Okeh (1918-1920) |
| | Domestic's first records were 7-inch fine-groove vertical cut discs produced by the Domino Record Company, a short-lived venture unrelated to the 1920s label of the same name. | | | Foregoing the stodginess that then characterized the American recording establishment at the time, Okeh soon began to scour the nation for performers and material that was often far removed from the mainstream. | | | Patent records show that he assigned rights to several phonograph cabinet designs to the company in 1916, and he also worked closely with inventor Thomas Kramer, an associate from the American Record Company days. |

| | Much of the material for Okeh is typical Jump Blues of the period delivered with he-man toughness, although even this early on, Chuck Willis gives us some samples both of the crazed-out Rock'n'Roll, as well as of the deep soulful ballads, which became his trademark for Atlantic Records in the mid Fifties. | | | It is thanks to Sears' efforts that Columbia's A&R man Danny Kessler signed Chuck Willis to Okeh Records in 1951. | | | A strong case actually could be made that it was the Atlantic productions which were influenced by the 1955 Okeh recordings. |
