Hey kids! Collect The Whole Set!

[soundog III]

How's this for an idea: an array of independent labels & one -offs. I've only a few from down under, mostly NZ truth be told. I imagine there must be some really interesting labels & releases to fill up a few column inches? BTW, not at all certain if Mascot was an indie / small label?

Jacshark - if you are still trying to figure out the "missing" RCA, sorry I made a mistake. There is nothing missing. I mistakenly thought that the Fugitives "All Your Lies" / "Baby Come Back" was on RCA (because the other Fugitives 45 is). I found the "missing" 45 while getting the Leedon display ready (up shortly).

Sorry again for wasting your time!

ha ha, it's never a waste - and great to listen to the other Midnighters again. Then I wondered if it was one of the Max Merritt ones on RCA. Anyway, carry on...

Carrying on...
With Leedon, the label that is in my opinion the most awesome of all the Australian 60s labels, despite stiff competition from Go!!. Most titles (except Ray Brown) are much harder to find as well.
I have no idea what ep titles are missing, since I never really cared about collecting them.

Oops, I've made an error in proclaiming Leedon to be the greatest Aussie label. As will be shown, it's actually Sunshine which is the greatest.

Sunshine has to be #1, once you count up the killer sides

Coloured Rain? It was mooted for Ugly Things 3 according to Livin' End

I don't know it, I don't think I've ever heard of it. Is it a Sunshine label release?

QK 2982, a bit later. 1969. What More Do You Want is the better side

Doesn't seem to be on youtube. Must be quite obscure.

Just had a listen, not bad later mod sound like The Sunsets' This Is What It's All About or The Movement. Adelaide band.

Here's the last of the big Aussie sets, Festival. The blue labels are the earlier ones, and in general they are by far superior. The yellow labels are from the late '60s and while some are good (Hugo is excellent) some are psych verging on heavy psych (Bucket, James Taylor Move). There are plenty of others on yellow label Festival too foul to be shown here.

And the same for New Zealand...

Now all that remains is a round-up of all the oddball and one-off items, as per soundog's suggestion, and we will have a 99.9 percent complete Aus/NZ '60s garage lineup (together with some selected rockers, surf and psych fillers)
