Smash Series
Smash series a subsidiary that started circa 1961, and left a number of releases until circa 1969. Unlike other subsidiaries, Smash itself doesn't seem to have specific label characteristics. Catalogue numbers for this series have SRS prefix (for Stereo), and MGS (for Monaural).
In preparing this page, Mark Lungo helped me a lot (especially searching detailed title listing). Thank you so much!
