Cub Records

Cub Records was a subsidiary of MGM Records started in 1958 for R&B releases.

Artists who released records on Cub included The Impalas ("Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)"), Jimmy Jones ("Handy Man", "Good Timin"), The Stereos ("I Really Love You"), and Jimmy Velvit ("Sometimes At Night", "We Belong Together"). The label lasted through 1968.

The sound emanating from radios across the country on September 25, 1961 was from Pittsburgh PA.  The Dow Wop classic “I Really Love You” by the Stereos hit the Billboard Top 100 and stayed there for nine weeks peaking at number 29.  It also climbed the R&B chart reaching number 15.  With its classic “doom-doom-doom da-da-da…I really, really love you” lyrics the Stereos’ hit song became a long time staple of oldies radio stations.  George Harrison kept the song alive with a cover version on his 1982 release "Gone Troppo".
