ppint. ● 12th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Jean Ritchie - Songs From Kentucky	argo record label in the uk: 1951-1957 independent, bought by decca 1957, ownership thereafter as per decca, being bought by polygram (or whatever the corporate name was in 1980), lacuna 1988-9, active again 1990, lacuna 1998-2020, active again 2020 (to date; still in use now, sfaiaa). argo record label in merkia: chess records label 1955-1965; renamed cadet 1955. no connexion with the above. i think both catalogues are now owned by universal, but i'm less certain about the chess records catalog(ue), which went through some interesting changes involving grt & other corporations. . .° westminster records, merkin independent 1949, bought by abc/paramount c. 1960, released classical recordings in stereo - some(many?) of which were licensed from them by the paul hamlyn/emi music for pleasure budget price uk record label, pretty much from its launching in 1965, iirc. yr hmbl srppnt. knows next to naught more about westminster records.° were they a relatively cheap (mid-range or budget) label ? ° - philmh will doubtless have full details stored in his internal and/or external memory bank(s). . .

Lafferty - Apocalypses	pinnacle / futorian science fiction was a brief pinnacle books series edited by roger elwood from end 1977-mid 1978; his somewhat restrictive version of christianity may have contributed to its brevity. pinnacle books' manglement may've intended to extend their "futorian" series into the sub-imprint for all of their sf titles, but this did not happen - and roger elwood's career as the most active original sf anthologist of his time also collapsed, with some established sf (& fantasy) editors taking over the work on a number of his then uncompleted projects already sold to various publishers.
