JT Records

2010

JT Records was started in 1980 by Sid Talmadge and Jerry Talmadge. Two of the Original Hit Men of the Record Industry in Los Angeles California with the Release of LA's own SPEED LIMIT. With the release of the 45 Single of "In the Middle of the Night" by Sped Limit founded by Keith Tolmich and Danny Schneider JT Records was under way! The single was shortly picked up by Local Radio Stations KROQ and KNAC and was favorably reviewed by Cashbox and Billboard Magazines. Speed Limit played many gigs all over Southern California at such Famous venues as The Roxy, The Whiskey, The Country Club and The LA County Fair! They also were featured on NBC Today in LA as well as CNN News! Speed Limit's EP "Physically Hooked and Addicted to Love" really kicked things into high gear when their remake of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walkin" was picked up again on KROQ where it made its way onto regular rotation and became a staple on the LA Radio scene. Danny and Keith were then overwhelmed when Hewitt Abner (Abner as he was known) wanted to work with Speed Limit. Abner was the President of the original Vee Jay Records and was actually responsible for signing the Beatles to their first American Recording Contract. He also represented Stevie Wonder where Jerry Talmadge met him while distributing for Motown Records. Danny Schneider and Keith continue to write together and Keith is now collaborating with his new bandmates as well!

Keith T. went on to several projects such as Keith T & the Truth, The Keith T Band and a new line up of Speed Limit which included Klondike Karl of KROQ fame as well as guitar wizard Bob Haag from the Internationally known band....SPARKS featuring Russell and Ron Mael which dominated LA airwaves in the 80's with hits like "Cool Places", " All You Ever Think about is Sex" and "I Married a Martian". JT Records also released CD's from The Caribbean All Stars featuring Carlos Santana and also Orange County California's own Michael Ubaldini & Mystery Train which recorded their CD at JT Records studio in Los Angeles.
