Here's what I managed to put together over a few days from 45s I've had and still got and info pulled from various sales sites.

When I've got a bit more time I'll add some more details & credits to the records with asterisks. Plus label scans.

Hello

The Renee label with the 5000 number series was a different company, based in Philadelphia.

The Renee label with the 3000 number series was also a different company, operating in the early 1970s, and based on the east coast I think.

The owners of the Renee label from Chicago also owned Brainstorm, Twin Stacks, La Cindy etc.
