Randy’s Record Shop, active from 1946 to 1991, was the world’s largest mail-order record company. Founder Randy Wood began advertising his mail-order business in the late 40s on clear channel WLAC in Nashville, a broadcast heard throughout most of the United States. The careers of many Rhythm and Blues artists were launched on this radio program. In 1950, Wood created the Dot Record label, recording artists including Johnny Maddox, Gale Storm, and Pat Boone.
