Je–Wel
Je–Wel (initial name) and Jewel Records (without the dash, later name), was a small, independent American record label founded in Odessa, Texas, in 1955 by (i) Weldon Rogers (1927–2004),〔Weldon Nelson Rogers (b. 30 Oct 1927 Marietta, Oklahoma; d. 13 Sep 2004 Perryton, Texas)〕 himself a singer, and (ii) Chester Calvin Oliver (1907–2000).〔Chester Calvin Oliver (b. 1907 Oklahoma; d 2000 Seminole, Texas)〕 Je–Wel is most known for having engaged, recorded, and produced fledgling artists from West Texas at the dawn of rock-n-roll in the mid to latter 1950s. Je–Wel's most notable production was a recording of The Teen Kings (with Roy Orbison) performing ''Ooby Dooby''. The session was recorded March 4, 1956, at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico. ''Ooby Dooby'' was on the B side and "Tryin' to Get to You" was on the A Side. The record – manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona – was issued as JE-WEL 101 around March 19, 1956. Je–Wel 101 is now accepted as one of the world's rarest and most collectible rarities. It exists in both 78 and 45 rpm versions with at least three label variations: the first pressing misspells Roy's surname "Oribson" and many copies credit ''"Trying To Get You"'' instead of ''"Trying To Get To You."''〔(John Ingman, ''Roy Orbison in Clovis'', Now Dig This, Issue 189 (December 1998) )〕
== Naming and founding ==
Je–Wel was formed, essentially, for the purpose of promoting and recording The Teen Kings. The name "Je–Wel" was derived from the first letters of (1) the middle name of Bobbie Jean Oliver (1939–2008)〔Obituary: ''Jean Wilson'' (formerly Jean Woodruff) (25 Feb 1939 – 16 May 2008, Seminole, Texas), ''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal'', May 18, 2008〕 (daughter of co-founder Chester Oliver) and (2) Weldon.
Bobbie Jean Oliver was a singer and accordion player with Western Melodiers, a band that backed up other local artists including Weldon and Willie Rogers. Jean Oliver also frequently performed with the Teen Kings, although she was never an actual member. In 1993, Chester's wife, Acia,〔Acia Bea Oliver, ' Breckon (b. 29 May 1913; d. 23 Aug 2002)〕 told John Ingman, a journalist with ''Now Dig This'', that it was Jean who had persuaded her parents to finance The Teen Kings' recordings, and that Rogers made little contribution. Weldon Rogers and Jean Oliver had been briefly married, but quickly annulled it at the insistence of Jean's parents.〔(John Ingman, ''Roy Orbison in Clovis'', Now Dig This, Issue 189 (December 1998) )〕 Jean, later, had dated James Morrow, a member of The Teen Kings, who, when not appearing at the Archway Club in Monahans, Texas, usually performed at the Saturday Night Jamboree in Jal, New Mexico. That is where James Morrow met and dated Jean Oliver. Jean's father, Chester, had worked for Phillips Petroleum and the family lived in Seminole, Texas.〔(Mick Perry, ''Roy Orbison – The Teen Kings'', January 1995 )〕
