Airtown Records what's the deal with this label?

I have bought 2 good-ish 45s on this imprint in the last couple of months, were they a cheap jukebox medley label of re-recordings of current hit songs, or an actual functioning label?

Tommy Wills owned the label.
Started in Dayton, Ohio in the early '60s and later moved to Indianapolis.
See also the Juke label.
97% crap, 3% decency.

OK, one of the ones I got is Tommy Wills - "Funky Sax" & the other is Frank DeVito "Organ Grinder Swing" they are both B-sides of slower medleys.

3 percent were mostly custom pressings for other groups unrelated to Tommy Wills: Johnny Holiday, Vondels, Shooting Stars and Spoon come to mind.

My girlfriend just bought a Vondels compilation LP on Rhino only to find it was re-recorded versions
