These labels were produced by the Jazz Appreciation Society of Newark, and seem to have been short-lived ventures.
The green-and-white label reissued some rare 1920s American jazz recordings originally from Paramount; the Red label is more recent jazz and the black-and-white label issued contemporary recordings, usually of New Orleans jazz.

Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for providing the label images, except the red label is from Robert Girling.

Thanks to Robert Girling for providing details for the listings for this label.
