company sleeves

[howlin' hoosier]

Looks like you are right about the Hit sleeve. The clincher for me is the "Holiday Hits" label which has the santa sleeve, at the bottom of the 45 sleeves site. That one is definitely a Hit label sleeve, so all the others must be as well.

Also, the use of the word "compatible" on both the sleeve and the record, makes it a certainty, really.

Slight tangent here, boss - anything spin worthy on the Hit label of cheap-o remakes of hits fame?

Lot of greater cover versions. I had a comp I quickly threw together a few years ago for the old garage-punk forum. It may be posted on here somewhere, but rather than having to search it out, here it is:

DivShare File - Hit Records.zip

Divshare sucks and I hope this still downloads okay. If it doesn't, I'll re-up it elsewhere.
Gotta dig out my CD-r, then I'll post the tracklist.

Mr. Heitkotter - Does "Canticles To Jello" realize the freak potential implied by its title?

I'd say so. Like pfft said, it's psych-pop, but it's got a pretty brilliant baroque-like arrangement and total nutty lyrics. "From my hammock in the sky, I sing of Canticles To Jello."

Found this by Hess. It's a little lighter and pure pop, but gives you a little idea of his sound.
I'll put up Canticles this afternoon.

Much obliged!

I'll post the tracklist.

The number after each song is the label number for the 45.

Looked up The Jalopy Five and found a version of Glad All Over that sounds like it was recorded in a cave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_SmQv77_Gs

Paint It Black is especially delightful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sasoYCv9fbo

Psychotic Reaction is actually pretty good (good being a relative term): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS_tcIEnT3I

 

[Heitkotter77]

Most of them are pretty good. These were top session musicians doing after hours sessions.
My fave is the Spartas "I'm Crying"

The fake British accents come and go - adds to the effect.

Another hits remake label well worth checking out is Seeburg, especially the Curiosities. Some great rockers and beat remakes, fantastic playing on some of these.

Do tell - perhaps a comp of remake labels might be in order?

Didn't Bill Traut of Dunwich fame have a Seeburg connection?

Here are a couple good Seeburg 45s

The number after each song is the label number for the 45.

I collect this series, but I only have about 8 of the above.

 

[vinyl01]

They also made eps.

Seeburg juke discs in stereo - are those w-i-d-e stereo mixes?

Does anyone know if United Audio used custom sleeves during the '60s?

Also, what would sleeves for Acta, Autumn and Colgems look like?

 

[howlin' hoosier]

Here's some Colgems sleeves: http://45-sleeves.com/USA/colgems/colg-us.htm
Acta: http://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sleeves/sleeves/SLV/all/2

The Greeks seem to have a bit of a thing for all-blue sleeves and labels

I have no idea what the last sleeve is.
