Stinson Records was an American record label formed by Herbert Harris and Irving Prosky in 1939, initially to market, in the US, recordings made in the Soviet Union. Between the 1940s and 1960s, it mainly issued recordings of American folk and blues musicians, including Woody Guthrie and Josh White. In 1943, Stinson established a financial partnership with the newly-established Asch Records, set up by Moe Asch The two labels, Folkways and Stinson, then operated separately and to some degree in competition, although an arrangement seems to have been reached under which they shared out recordings by some of the artists they had recorded under their joint arrangement, most notably Woody Guthrie, with Asch's Folkways label issuing most of Guthrie's topical and political songs while the Stinson label issued most of his folk and country songs.
