==Location recording==
Okeh Records pioneered the practice of "location recording" in 1922. Starting in 1924, Okeh also sent mobile recording trucks to tour other parts of the country to record performers not heard in New York or Chicago. Regular return trips were made once or twice a year to [[New Orleans, Louisiana]], [[Atlanta, Georgia]], [[San Antonio, Texas]], [[St. Louis, Missouri]], [[Kansas City, Missouri]], and [[Detroit, Michigan]], recording a wealth of jazz and early [[country music]] artists.
==Later years==
Okeh releases grew infrequent after 1932, although the label continued into 1935. Columbia again revived it in 1940 after they lost the rights to the [[Vocalion Records|Vocalion]] name (by dropping the [[Brunswick Records|Brunswick]] label) and pressed it until 1946. It was revived once again in 1951<ref name="saundersokeh">Red Saunders Discography. http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/saunders.html Accessed August 1, 2009.</ref> and used sporadically through to the 1990s. In 1953, Okeh's [[pop music]] acts were transferred to the newly formed [[Epic Records]] making Okeh an exclusive [[rhythm and blues]] label.<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=ZAoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA16&dq=epic+%2B+okeh&hl=en&ei=ldMbTbO5Osuknwe23rnUDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CD4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=epic%20%2B%20okeh&f=false</ref> In 1963, Carl Davis became Okeh's A&R manager and boosted Okeh's fortunes for a couple of years.<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=fgsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA8&dq=%22Okeh+Records%22&hl=en&ei=HaMaTYenPNH9nAfisdXjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDQQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=%22Okeh%20Records%22&f=false</ref> [[Epic Records]] took over management of Okeh in 1965. Among the artists during Okeh's "pop" phase of the 50s and 60s were [[Johnnie Ray]], [[Little Joe & The Thrillers]].
