| Counterpart records was owned by Shad O'Shea, a longtime Cincinnati deejay, producer and promoter, and one of the last great true "record men". Two numbering series were used, the 2500 series and the 3700 series. The 3700 series starts with 3744, the street number for the studio. Most of the 1960s era 45s were recorded at Falls City in Louisville or King. In 1970 O'Shea opened his own recording studio Counterpart Creative Studios, coincident with the label numbering change. Applegate Records was a short-lived subsidiary (named for the street location of the studio). In 1975, O'Shea purchased Fraternity Records. Counterpart was discontinued but Fraternity was reactivated and continues to this day, primarily in the Country genre. | |||
