Peerless Records was a
Mexico based
record label.
Peerless was founded in
1921 in
Mexico City by E. Baptista. Early pressings of their
disc records were made under contract by
Gennett Records. By the early
1940s Peerless was pressing its own records in Mexico. The Peerless label mostly released popular Mexican music; some popular dance bands and tunes from the
United States of America also appeared on Peerless in the
1920s.
In addition to Mexico, Peerless Records were sold in other parts of Latin America and in some communities in the Southwest United States. The labels sometimes have text in both English and Spanish.
Peerless issued some LP vinyl records in the 1950s.
