You are so right! I have a very fine collection of these records, and it's my
obsession to discover who is actually on these records! Most often it was
some pretty cool garage kids either earning extra money, or as part of their
contracts. Many of the cheesy record labels from Canada where actually
subsideraries of REAL record companies. They'd put their own talent on
these $1.98 jobs!!! Strange. The Canadian records have some of the best
graphics and lettering I've ever seen.The London A-Go-Go records are
some of my faves! Between us, I think Erin & I have the whole run!
