Here is a description of the label, Empire Records, which cites a musician from the "Knight Caps":
"Empire Records was the outlet for Ben Adelman's Empire Recording Studios. These records date from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Jerry Dallman of the Knight Caps, remembered "Empire Studios" as the remodeled garage attached to the Adelman residence on Cedar Street in Tacoma Park on the D.C./Maryland line. Dobro player, Ric Nelson, who met and recorded for Mr. Adleman several times remembered that he had at least three different locations for his recording studios. The first was a building in the triangle on the east side of Georgia Avenue at Kennedy Street, NW. The studio was then relocated to the upper level of a moving and storage warehouse adjacent to the railroad right of way on the Takoma Park end of Cedar Street. The building has since been raised for the METRO station. The proximity to the rail line frequently disrupted recording sessions as passenger and freight trains rolled past. Finally the studio was relocated back to Georgia Avenue at Kennedy Street, but this time, on the west side of the street."
