Off The Record L.L.C. was established in 2006 by Doug Benson and David Sager, to offer fresh transfers of rare jazz recordings on compact discs. The first OTR release, King Oliver Off The Record: The Complete 1923 Jazz Band Recordings snagged Sager a Grammy nomination for his excellent album notes, and earned Benson wide recognition for his restoration of these exceptionally rare discs. Through an exclusive distribution deal with Archeophone Records, this 2-CD set is available for purchase through their website.

Upcoming OTR projects include:

*The Complete Wolverines 1924-1928

*The Clarence Williams Blue Five Recordings, 1923-26 featuring Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet & Eva Taylor, including the Red Onion Jazz Babies.
