Houston Records, Ltd. / Houston Records Media Service is a full service CD replicator / DVD replicator with graphic design services, printing and packaging all in one location. In 1958 Gasper Patrick Puccio, Jr. (1926–2005), bought the vinyl presses from Peacock Records and Duke Records owner Don Robey (1903–1975) and established Houston Records. Gasper Puccio was a brother of Vincent John Puccio (1914–1998) of Los Angeles who founded Broadway Records in 1947.

Puccio renewed and enhanced the pressing capabilities and operated 20 fully automated Lened 7" and 12 fully automated Lened (Lened, Inc., Elizabeth, New Jersey) LP presses (as of 1971). In the 1990s all vinyl pressing activities were given up.

Rampart Street Recording Studio, Inc. (26 October 1971 – 22 March 1974), in the Bellaire – part of the Houston metropolitan area – was owned by Louis Wilbur Erath (1917–2008) who sold it to Steve Ames (né Stephen Charles Ames; born 1947). The Ames brothers parents owned Ames Oil and Gas. The Ames brothers founded their own label, Tantara Records. Steve managed the Moving Sidewalks. The other brother was Richard "Dick" Ames (né Richard Curtis Ames; 1940–2008). Bob Cope was manager of the club, the Catacombs at 3003 South Post Oak Road, just south of Brays Bayou – about 7.5 mi south of what became The Galleria. Gilbert Jackson owned the property. When it opened in 1966 under Ames Productions, it had a Class C liquor license, allowing 15–20 year-olds to enter, thus no booze allowed.
