Info
First label manager was Jimmy Crash, with Adam X occasionally doing A&R. The first 8 releases featured Direct Drive Records as a label name.
Jimmy sold the label to Mid-Town Records in 1994, then some of the back catalogue to Hot Music in Miami later on.
When M&C bought the label, the catalogue numbers were reduced to 2 position on purpose, since it's virtually a different label. (ie: DDR 24 instead of DDR 024). Also their logo changed with that. It was a joint venture between See Saw and M&C Records. From DDR 26 on up the label was represented as Direct Drive Records again on the releases.
