Now, just to make things MORE interesting, I come up with "Excelsior". The sleeves and the typefaces have a distinct "K-Tel look" about them and the street address is 7500 Excelsior Blvd, in Minneapolis, MN which (are you ready?) is also HOPKINS MN. Googling the address puts them about 2 miles/3 Km. east of K-Tel Drive!.

It gets better. The label also says they're part of PICKWICK INTERNATIONAL which opens up a whole 'nother world of possibilities!

(And in the "small world" category, going back to about 1970,I was reading that when K-Tel started out they sold household gadgets {remember the "Veg-a-matic"?} that were supplied by the FATHER of the guy that started RONCO)
