EDITORIAL REVIEWS
A Canadian "Nuggets" compilation, drawn from the vaults of terrific indie label Gaiety Records, a label which featured many obscure, good bands in search of that elusive hit single. "Gaiety Records Story contains some splendid music from the great white north. The Gaiety Records label was active in Canada between 1961 and 1969. Formed by Don Grashey and Lloyd Palmer in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the label was an outlet for many relatively obscure Canadian Garage and Rock bands during it's existence. Gaiety Records released it's own bands' singles as well as sub-licensing material to other labels, such as RCA, Columbia, Decca, Epic, Musicor, and others. This compilation collects 24 songs taken from the Gaiety vaults-some of the best garage and pop music to be released in Canada during the mid-'60 's. This set features tracks by such acts as Checkerlads, White Knights, Tomorrow's Keepsake, Plague (including their essential track 'High Flyin' Bird'), Lexington Avenue, NRG, and Solid Reputation.
