[Leica] IMG: Christians Can't Count

[Bill Pearce]

Most of these products were "self produced" by the artists, and I use that 
word loosely. 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.

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....
