There were many small pressing plants that would put these things out on the cheap, and the "artists" would have to come up with their own title, copy and images, that the company would throw together into one of many prefab covers. The quality of the production and frequently performances were just as you would expect. Recordings were made in living rooms on cheap tape machines. Companies ;like Motown and Stax were legit companies (or as least as much so as possible in that business often know for underhanded dealing) involved in the production of their releases from beginning to end. You couldn?t just walk into Motown with a reel of tape some typewritten sheets and a photo and get it released on that label. These were produced by some guy with a lathe, press and a buddy with a print shop, and what you handed in on the tape was what you got. They weren?t a bit clueless, just trying to make a buck. -----Original Message----- From: Jayanand Govindaraj Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 11:11 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Christians Can't Count Really funny. How were record companies so clueless, though? I would presume these groups were assembly line products put together by the record companies, not unlike Motown or Stax....
