The first Ace Records was started in August 1955 by Johnny Vincent, with Teem Records as budget subsidiary label. Its records were distributed since 1962 by Vee_Jay Records. Ace Records stopped when Vee_Jay Records went broke. The label was relaunched in 1971 and sold in 1997 to Music Collection International.
Ace gives the individual the tools for appointment, time, task and contact tracking and management while centralizing and providing security for the data for the benefit of the organization.
Ace is installed on the LAN server and only icon links need be installed on individual workstations.
Ace can be configured to prevent anyone other than authorized administrators from saving records, documents and files to unspecified hard drives, floppy drives or other storage devices.
Ace #508 is of interest to blues collectors in that it offered the first vinyl issue of Elmore James's calling card of an introduction, "Dust My Broom," which was originally recorded for Lillian McMurry's Trumpet label in Jackson in 1951.
It was all downhill for Acerecords after this financial collapse, although Johnny Vincent tried valiantly to keep the label afloat.
Johnny Vincent, 74, longtime head of Acerecords, one of the great independent labels which first challenged the majors in the 50s, died February 4, 2000 of a heart ailment in his hometown of Jackson, MS.
