[bomp] Empire & Rondack
Two years worth of research here. Hmmmm. Probably nobody cares except
me! LOL! At least it keeps me out of trouble. No more gun fights in
the middle of the woods with rival parties of bear hunters. Anyway,
been tracking down and cataloging various and sundry 45s from the
North Country of New York and Burlington; basically the Plattsburgh
and Burlington scenes as well as associated locales. Not everything is
Rondack or Empire released, but it'll give one a sense of the scene.
I'll break it up into a couple parts. Anyway:

There are other Rondack Records 45s such as The Inspirations (a truly
hideous single) and a terrible version of Shake, Rattle and Roll by a

acquire them.
