Sparky and I did some junk-store visits yesterday, and I found a small stash of mostly junk records. But, what is interesting is the junk I found on the Micro label: Micro. From what I can tell it was a knock off label here in Canada that sold its wares for 69 cents - with 4 or 6 tracks on a 78 rpm EP.

Even cooler than that is that it appears to be related to a Cameo label that we had no info on Cameo. I had previously found on record on Cameo but had no country for it. Yesterday, I found another that specifically says 'Printed in Canada' (with printed being an odd word in this context).

Cameo/ Micro look to have sourced their content from the Kentucky label: Kentucky.

There is also the opinion that whole lot maybe related the the UK Solitaire label: Solitaire based on similarities between it and Cameo!

The records themselves are rubbish .. low volume and performances not much better .. but the info gleaned from connecting the dots makes up for that.

What I think is really need is the fact that via our collaborative international efforts we are building this great store of knowledge and helping to preserve our record history!
