Instant Records

Instant Records was a record label based in New Orleans, Louisiana which was founded in 1961 by Joe Banashak (owner of Minit Records) and Irvin Smith.[1] It was originally called Valiant Records until another Valiant Records threatened to sue and forced the label's renaming to Instant Records.[2] The most successful artist on Instant was Chris Kenner. Several Instant recordings were distributed by Atlantic Records.[3]
