Tom Boddie created 5 house labels over the duration of his record operation. His first label was Plaid and the first record release was in 1958/9, by itinerant R&B musician Crown Prince Waterford. He issued a second record (45 and/or 78) by a gospel group, the Wonderland Gospel singers. We’ve not seen either record to confirm the information.
Boddie stayed away from the record business until March, 1965. During the 6 year period he moved to the familiar 12202 Union Ave address. He was active in recording, primarily remote recordings, and he had a steady business repairing electronic gear. In early 1965 he started two labels, Bounty, and Luau. The initial releases were all R&B/soul crossovers and the records pressed by Kay Bank. In early 1966 he started working with the Kelmar pressing plant in Cleveland’s east side. Kelmar was not a high volume operation, they were more of a small run plant, and provided Boddie a chance to learn the pressing business. Over the next couple years, he bought into the business, until in early 1968 he owned it outright. During the first 9 or so months of 1968 Boddie built a recording studio and pressing plant in an addition to his house. Kelmar then ceased operations during this time.
Meanwhile, Boddie was issuing soul and gospel records on Bounty and Luau. In April, 1967, he issued a press release about the start of the Soul Kitchen label. Luau was discontinued, and Bounty became a gospel only label. The Plaid label was resurrected (pun intended) for a few gospel 45s in 1970. The Bounty label continued into the 1980s, but the last Soul Kitchen 45 was released in 1973.
The numbering system used for these records is pretty simple. The first Bounty and Luau records were pressed at Kaybank. Starting with 5588, Boddie started numbering records using sequential catalog numbers. The number previous, 5587, had been assigned by Kaybank, so it’s just the luck of the draw that numbers started there. This 5xxx numbering continues into 1969. When Boddie started pressing records at his house, be began to assign each press with a number starting with the year. The first two numbers of the pressing number are the last two digits in the calendar year. This system was used for the Bounty and Soul Kitchen records, as well as custom pressings. Some of the custom pressings have the Boddie number and a separate label catalog number (a good example being some of the BOS records). A few of the custom presses have the number in the dead wax only. Most of the years, Boddie would restart the count with yy00 or yy01, for example the first record pressed in 1973 would be 7301. Between 1970 and 1971, the numbers were just rolled over. The last ID’ed pressing in 1970 is 7040, while the first one from 1971 is 7145, so there are four more records xx41-xx44 in the transition from 1970 to 1971. This numbering system lasted until 1986/7 when Boddie stopped pressing records. Very few records (around 10 a year, it seems) were done from the early 1980s on.
The information included here is derived from the actual records and paperwork in the company files. Records that have an asterisk in the right hand column were documented from company paperwork. Those without an asterisk are documented from a copy of the record. The numbers 1000p, etc, refer to number of copies pressed based on the docs. The dates given are from the record orders and indicate when the order was picked up or completed, not necessarily when the record was pressed. Almost every pressing number tracks the dates in order but there’s a few exceptions.
We assume that every record in the sequence, which should have started at 6801, was pressed and included somewhere on the actual record but as with any operation like this there are going to be some anomalies. Currently we have only detailed records up to 1975. Some time in the future, the rest of the sequence will be filled in.

#5-5023, 5-5042, and 5-5587 are not a label numbers, They are the Kaybank pressing serial number. Done before the Boddie pressing plant was operational, presumably. Looks like the 55xx house numbering series starts with 5587 from the Kaybank numbering.
Records with * at the end are documented from the company records and may not match what’s actually on the labels.
