The Brunswick phonograph headquarters for the entire West Coast was established at 980-982 Mission Street, with a phonograph department on the mezzanine floor. By 1924 C.P. MacGregor was the manager of the Brunswick division for the San Francisco territory. This was probably the same MacGregor who later made custom records issued by the MacGregor and Ingram Recording Laboratories, a firm listed in San Francisco’s 1930 and 1931 phone books.
C. P. “Chip” MacGregor's San Francisco studio was a leader in the production and distribution of low-cost syndicated transcription series during the early 1930s, following the development of program syndication by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll of Amos ’n’ Andy.)
Famous are the 1931 Anson Weeks transcription discs recorded in San Francisco for coast-to-coast broadcasts, Nick Lucas recordings, and later Musical Library recordings for Film and Radio purposes.
From 1932 to 1937 the company was MacGregor and Sollie. C. P. MacGregor, producer/transcriber/recording Studio owner, died in Hollywood, CA, USA Dec. 5, 1968. Age: 71. In 1924, MacGregor was Brunswick Records manager for the San Francisco territory. He later had his own studios; "CP MacGregor Studios" , at 729 S. Western Avenue, Hollywood, CA, where many stars were recorded, including Nick Lucas.price rating
