Editing Banner Records (section)

==Legacy==
Banner discs are found throughout the United States, indicating their popularity as Plaza's flagship label. The audio fidelity of the records was average to slightly below average for the time, but as Banner was a cheap label they were pressed from cheaper materials that did not withstand repeated playing with the heavy [[phonograph]] players of the time. Most Banner discs found today exhibit considerable wear and [[surface noise]], but they are still valued by virtue of the selections.

In keeping with their low-price production, it is common for a current hit song on the A-side and a lesser-known song as the B side.  Many of these B side songs are eccentric tunes not recorded elsewhere (but, of course, found on the other Plaza/ARC labels). Also scattered around these B sides are tunes by [[Luis Russell]], [[Duke Ellington]], small groups from the [[Ben Pollack]] orchestra, among others.
