"all (?!)" - yes, ALL is correct, in every sense of the word. All 1950 LP era to date record labels located in Wisconsin, and information about, and/or recordings by, all performing and recording artists who have ever lived in Wisconsin, in every genre of music that exists, Folk, Jazz, Classical, Country, Barbershop, Spoken Word, ... I did not mention 78's because, 1) as I understand it, most 78's in existence have already been documented in print, so I assumed (and from the discussion, I gather I was wrong), that a labelography was also just as complete in print for every existing 78 label, and 2) I can contribute almost nothing new to any discussion of Wisconsin labels and/or artists on 78. My entire Wisconsin 78 collection consists of 2 Audiophile, a Ripon College Christmas album, one or two Woody Herman, and maybe a few others, at most less than a dozen total. "rock bands" - the majority of the collection is non-Pop/Rock. It has more just Church choirs, grade school, high school and College/University choruses, bands and orchestras than Pop/Rock. Besides, all 1950-1969 Wisconsin Rock bands have been thoroughly documented by Gary Myers, so I don't need to. "Do You Hear That Beat" and "On That Wisconsin Beat" http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/bibliog.shtml#ha http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/bibliog.shtml#kw "limited quantity record issues" - maybe for most, but not all. Woody Herman, Bunny Berigan, Les Paul, Liberace, The Chordettes, Luther Allison, Bobby Hatfield (half of the Righteous Brothers), Al Jarreau, Dave Dudley, Clyde Stubblefield, Harvey Scales, and the Fendermen's "Muleskinner Blues" have sold more than just a few. Other than scanning a label's logo from the liner notes, "labelography" probably does not apply to 8-tracks, cassettes and CD's, right? http://www.folklib.net/ripon/ripon2_college.shtml - Ripon College 78's http://www.folklib.net/book/wi_book09.shtml#Adphl - Audiophile, have only two 78's and two LP's, AP-10,13,50,97 http://www.folklib.net/index/discog/wi_discog.shtml - 2,952 titles documented so far, with another couple of thousand to do http://www.folklib.net/index/wi/wi_labels.shtml - 219 different label names, so far ____________________________________________________________ Doug Henkle - mailto:[log in to unmask] P.O.
