Jon, I know this is slightly off thread, but despite the fact that the vinyl in the cheapo records of the 60's seemed sub standard, they did open up a whole new musical world to young lads like myself. In rural towns and villages record stores were scarce and conservative in what they stocked. When Saga ,Society, Arc, et al came along they sold in local paper shops, sweet shops etc,( at 15/11).Their catalogues covered a multitude of musical genres. Cheap labels turned me on to Sonny& Brownie, Lightin' Hopkins,Sandy Denny,Johnny Silvo, various Doo- Wop groups, Roy Guest,Little Richard singing Gospel, Ray Charles, Homer & Jethro and a whole plethora of Country &Bluegrass,plus many others, as well as Alex Campbell.So I suppose I shouldn't denigrate them too much, they were a great source to the cash strapped young chaps of the time.
