The Baker Boys on Atomic 101
Atomic Records Discography
The Atomic label was owned by trombonist Lyle Griffin. Offices were at 5634 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood from 1945 until 1950, and at 1522 N. Mariposa Ave. from 1950 until 1955.* The following discography is very incomplete. Long gaps between numbers may represent missing information, or it is possible that those numbers were never used. Visitors who can provide information about these recordings are invited to get in touch with me through the contact page.
