Here's a vote for posting the address of Rhino Records! Sounds good to me.
Now for a couple of irrelavent trivia points:
1 - The mention of Todd Rundgren's NAZZ reminded me that the original
Alice Cooper band was also called the NAZZ on the west coast while
Rundgren's group was concurrently using the same name on the east coast.
When the east coast NAZZ released an album, the west coast NAZZ changed
their name to Alice Cooper. Later on, the lead singer (Vincent Furnier)
stole the name "Alice Cooper" from the band, and the rest (Welcome to
My Nightmare, etc.) is pop-garbage history.
2 - While they don't deal much in early Rock&Roll, Rounder records
(of George Thorogood fame) also has great old rereleases with excellent
liner notes (like the description of Rhino). Mostly, Rounder deals in
Bluegrass and Blues, but any modern music scholar knows that the end
result of "The Louvin Brothers meet Sonny Boy Williamson" is the
Brittish Invasion craze. I'll post their address (Rounder) later.
