I've got some old Troggs 45s on Fontana, as well as that porno Alan Arkin/Jane Birkin thing, also on 45 and also on Fontana. Is that relevant to the discussion or should I issue an apology in advnace?

1 - I've got Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, "The Game of Love". What came first, the label or the group?

2 - I don't know if 'Modern Times' sounds worse by the day or not, because I only played it once. It sounded plenty bad enough the first time.

3 - Not sure what "People" you are the voice of, Clem. The "People" thought that Geffen Neil Young was awful and that the Geffen Joni didn't measure up. Check the sales. My ears agree with the "People" in those cases. I'll take 'After the Goldrush', you can have 'Trans'. Yeah, 'Trans' was "Visionary". Martin Luther King was Visionary. So was Hitler. Visionary is value neutral. It's what the Vision consists of that has positive or negative value.

4 - Ya want record company hype, consider this gem from our buddies at Concord on the new Carla Thomas CD of a previously unreleased '67 concert. I quote: "In 1967, Carla Thomas was the undisputed queen of soul". I mean, I really like Carla Thomas, but if Aretha were dead, she'd turn over in her grave!

My first copy of Country Joe and the Fish Fixin to die album was on Fontana. But no board game! Or is that a tangent too far?
