Cobra Records

Cobra Records (together with its Artistic subsidiary) was an independent record label that operated from 1956–1959. The label was important for launching the recording careers of Chicago blues artists Otis Rush, Magic Sam and Buddy Guy and "signaled the arrival of a new generation of () artists and a new sound ... to be called the West Side Sound."〔Snowden 1992 p. 14.〕
Cobra Records was started on Chicago's West Side in 1956 by Eli Toscano (a record store and television-repair shop owner), with help from promoter Howard Bedno.〔Haig 1993 p. 2.〕〔Bedno 1992 p. 8.〕 When his previous record label, Abco Records, failed to generate much interest, Toscano approached Willie Dixon about working for Cobra.〔Dixon 1989 p. 105.〕 Dissatisfied with his arrangement with Chess Records, Dixon joined Cobra. There he served in many capacities, including talent scout, producer, arranger, songwriter, bassist and became "the artistic vision behind Cobra Records."〔Haig 1993 p. 2.〕
First to record for Cobra was Otis Rush. His single "I Can't Quit You Baby" became a hit, spending six weeks in the Billboard R&B chart, where it reached #6 in 1956.〔Whitburn 1988 p. 361.〕 Rush recorded another seven singles for Cobra, described as "defining moments of Chicago blues."〔Coda 1996 p. 230.〕 In 1957 Magic Sam recorded his signature song "All Your Love" and released four singles on Cobra. Buddy Guy released two singles in 1958 on Cobra's Artistic Records subsidiary.

From 1956–1958 Cobra issued singles by a variety of acts, including Ike Turner and several blues veterans. However, by 1959 financial troubles overtook the company and it went out of business. Eli Toscano died in 1967;〔Broven 2009 p. 127.〕〔According to Snowden, Toscano died in 1959 (Snowden 1992 p. 18).〕 Howard Bedno "went on to become one of the leading "indie" promotion men in the United States" (died 2006); and Willie Dixon returned to Chess and entered one of the most prolific periods of his career (died 1992).〔Haig 1993 p. 7.〕 The Cobra catalogue was subsequently purchased by Stan Lewis of Jewel/Paula/Ron Records. Most of the Cobra (and Artistic) recordings (including several alternate and outtakes) were released on ''The Cobra Records Story: Chicago Rock and Blues 1956–1958'' (1993 Capricorn 9 42012-2).
