hi mate, yeah was my mistake with the aristocrats...got this 45 just for a couple of days latest shot o' mine...mainstream and tsop are indies but in this case i didn't want to be pedantic - cause these labels issued loads of well known records (like the majors) and mainstream for example also released the fantastic alice clark lp which e.g. is uncommon (in my opinion) for this label...cheers, matt

What constitutes a major from an independant, ie something like Eddy Giles on Murco is i suspect an independant, but what about Motown...........is that still an independant or major??? when does the crossover take place?

What happened nto this thread....I was really enjoying it!

So what about major label stuff about to take off?

Chris

Art Freeman on UK Atlantic!

Want one, can't afford it!

A major label distributes itself, a minor does not. In the 60's and 70's most of those labels you are mentioning were minor, or, Independants.

Why would Berry Gordy threaten the Schwartz Bros. He would find another distributor for DC if they didn't stop pushing Shrine? Capitol, RCA, MGM they are majors

But, it's still a nice list of records!

Gene

Billy Woods????

Judy Freeman & Blackrock - Hold On - RCA
