[78-L] Imp Records

[David Lennick]

Actually I was referring more to Erno Rapee with the goulash connection.

>> Anyone ever hear of IMP Records? I just found a small batch. 7-inch kids records, made by Holyoke Plastics Inc., Holyoke, Mass. In other words, similar to the early 40s laminated crap er budget product on the Viking and (revived) Hit of the Week labels. But these are all paste-overs (which cover the run-out grooves..to hell with your needles, kids) and underneath them is PIED PIPER, "From the Catalog of Music You Enjoy, Inc".Just to confuse things further, there are two shellac Pied Piper discs in this batch, which bear more resemblance to Little Masters and Erno Rapee's Melodyland. And does Eli Oberstein figure in this goulash somewhere?dl_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
