    Frank Virtue was a Philadelphia musician, record producer and record label owner whose career stretched from the big bands of the 1940s to the hip-hop and rap of the 1990s. He built his first studio, Virtue Recording Lab, in the basement of his house at 8500 Fayette Street. "Guitar Boogie Shuffle" was recorded there. The revenue from "Guitar Boogie Shuffle" helped finance the Virtue Recording Studio in late 1962 at 1618 North Broad Street. During the 1960s many hit records were recorded at Virtue, e.g. "The Horse" by Cliff Nobles & Co. and "Boogaloo Down Broadway" by Fantastic Johnny C. This compilation highlights some of the best music to come out of the Virtue Recording Studios.
