The Uniques released their songs on Paula Records out of Shreveport, Louisiana, which was a p[art of Jewel records.
The label was launched in 1965 and featured such notable artists as John Fred & His Playboy Band, the Ink Spots, Fontella Bass and Young-Holt Limited. (And, the Uniques, whose members included country star Joe Stampley, of course.)
Jewel records was founded in 1963 and had two subsidiary labels, Paula and Ronn. Paula Records were started by Jewel records owned Stanley Lewis who named it after his wife Paula. He had started with a small record store in Shreveport and was called Stan "The Record Man" Lewis.
