[78-L] Sparton and Quality

[David Lennick]

Don't know how I ever missed "The Song of the Barefoot Mailman".

I don't know who wrote this blurb:

Sparton closed up shop in the late spring or early summer of 1968. I remember 
it well because suddenly we couldn't get the Canadian issues of records we were 
waiting for.

This has decent reproductions (scroll halfway down) of Sparton's 78 and 45 
labels, one of the best designed labels.

And for good measure, Reo and the Canadian version of Liberty. Another example 
of indy labels being picked up by different Canadian distributors (Sparton, 
Quality)..since when is Sparton a "ghost label", incidentally? And where did 
this guy loin to talk English, where?
