Gennett (pronounced with a soft G) was a United States based record label which flourished in the 1920s.
Gennett records was founded in Richmond, Indiana by the Starr Piano Company, and released its first records in October 1917.
From 1925 to 1934, Gennett released recordings by hundreds of "old-time music" artists, precursors to country music, including such artists as Doc Roberts and Gene Autry. By the late 1920s, Gennett was pressing records for more than 25 labels worldwide, including budget disks for Sears, Roebuck's catalog. In 1926, Fred Gennett created Champion Records as a budget label for tunes previously released on Gennett.
Gennett issued a few early electrically recorded masters recorded in the Autograph studios of Chicago in 1925. This is pretty neat, since I grew up a town over from Richmond, Indiana.
