More Vintage Vinyl Rip-Offs!

Can't help myself. Here are some more budget LPs from the sixties.

ALSHIRE

When my parents bought their state-of-the-art console stereo from W. T. Grants back in 1967 it came with a 10-LP box set for use as "stereo demonstration discs." These were on the ALSHIRE label. Their big claim to fame is the 101 Strings series, but they also tried to cash in on the teeny-bopper market, as well! Witness these random samplings:

ALSHIRE'S hippy-dippy "answer" to their "101 Strings" was (can you believe it?) "The California Poppy Pickers!" Here are some of "their" albums:






And not to leave any bandwagon un-jumped-on, they even released a "Quad" version of that Aquarius album!



And for you lovers of fine Country-Western music, could there ever be a more anonymous artist name than "John(ny) Doe?" I ask ya!


Next? "Blame Canada!"
