Cameo Records
Cameo Records was an American record label that flourished in the 1920s.
It was owned by the Cameo Record Corporation in New York City.
Cameo released a disc by Lucille Hegamin every two months from 1921 to 1926.
Cameo records are also noted for dance music.
The catalogue also included the Original Memphis Five and the Varsity Eight.
Musicians such as Red Nichols, Miff Mole, Adrian Rollini, and Frank Signorelli made trips to the Cameo studios.
In 1926, Cameo started recording using a microphone- electrical process.
An interesting blues number is 583," Crazy Blues", by Salt& Pepper.
Listen to the podcast at 26:46, where the disc is mentioned as an" early electric".
The Cameo Record Corporation started Lincoln Records( 1924) and Romeo Records( 1926).
In 1928 it merged with Pathé Records, and then the American Record Corporation.
The resulting company stopped using the Cameo name in the 1930s.
This label is not affiliated with Cameo- Parkway Records which was active in the 1950s and 1960s.
Cameo with Valerian and Shapur I
The Cameo with Valerian and Shapur I is now on display in the Cabinet des Médailles of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
It has the inventory number Camée 360.
and was bought in 1893.
The cameo is 6, 8 cm high and 10, 3 cm wide and made of sardonyx, and is thought to date to about 260 AD.
For the carving, the different colored layers of the stone was used.
The background is dark, the figures are white and details are again dark again as they are on the highest level.
The cameo shows two riders.
On the right side appears the Sasanian king Shapur I( reigned AD 241–272).
He wears a helmet with a globe crest.
His shoulders also have attached globes.
His right arm is holding the left arm of the Roman emperor Valerian( reigned AD 253 bis 260).
The Roman emperor holds in his right hand a sword.
He is beardless and has on his head a laurel wreath, identifying him as Roman emperor.
Though the client was presumably Sasanian, the style is Greco- Roman, as the artist presumably was.
The scene shows most likely the capturing of emperor Valerian by Shapur I in the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD.
The battle was a huge success for the Sasanian troops as they managed to seize the Roman emperor, an event that was celebrated on several monuments.
In 256 the Sasanians conquered the Greek city of Antioch and it seems likely that many craftsmen and artists were taken.
It seems possible that the cameo was made by such an artist.
Carved gems were a common art form in Greco- Roman culture.

Cameo Theater
The Cameo Theatre was built in 1936 and is located at 1445 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida.
The Cameo has a long history and was a major venue for punk and hardcore acts beginning in 1985 when Richard Shelter struck a deal with Cameo owner Zori Hayon to book shows there.
According to the" Miami New Times", Richard Shelter's first Cameo event was held in July 1985 and featured D.O.A.
In an interview with Roger Deering, Kristy O' Brien describes the Cameo and the local scene in the 80's.
" Growing up in South Florida during the 1980s was a heady experience for anyone with alternative inklings.
Against the backdrop of endless blue skies, genteel faded pastel jewel box buildings, midnight porch- sitting elderly and relentless heat tempered with hope, beat the heart of the underground music world known as the Cameo Theater.
And undeniably the intense rhythm of that Miami Beach heartbeat was everyone ’s favorite local band, the Drills.
Most of the great hardcore punk bands such as Black Flag, Ramones, and the Dead Kennedys came to play in this tiny, decrepit hot pink and lime green art deco throwback and as opening band, the Drills were a huge part of the burgeoning all ages movement."
Richard Shelter was the first promoter to bring punk and hardcore to the Cameo.
According to Shelter," When I got back off the road with Pickett and started doing bigger shows at the Cameo, the financing came from Patrick, the owner of Tobacco Road, whom I had worked for part time as a waiter."
