PINEWOOD
Pinewood was Virginia based, with postal addresses in Chesapeake and Norfolk. From the Norfolk adress 2732 Beachmont Avenue, label owner Bill Johnson was also running Fink Records. Several artists recorded for both labels. Most of the artists recording for Pinewood (and Fink) came from Virginia and neighboring states. Most of the Pinewood releases were pressed at Rite Record Productions in Cincinnati, Ohio making it possible to date those releases. This still means that more than a quarter of Pinewood releases cannot be dated.
