Based in Cleveland, Pama was started by Arnie Rosenberg and Patrick Connelly, initially to release records by Tom King and the Starfires, as Pat was Tom King's uncle. In 1964 they built a pressing plant in Pat's garage that was used for all the Pama/Clevetown/Tema/Audio recording pressings. Clevetown records was formed by Arnie and Joe Petito as an attempt to have a Cleveland-identified label in the manner of Motown. The PXT and CTXP prefixes were also used on Tema records. Both imprints used Audio Recording, so there is some correlations between the numbering, but too many duplicate numbers suggest independence. Clevetown records lasted into the 1970s, but the pressing plant was closed in 1970 when the house was razed for highway I-480.

Numbers #128 and later are on Clevetown, except #130 is on Pama. #128 and #129 have two pressings, one using white labels and the other blue labels. Which, if either, was first is unclear.
