    Please add… “Flyin’ Home Boogie” and “You Go Your Way” recorded by “Flyin’ Home” in 1971 at the Music Center Studio on West Leonard and released under the “Genesis” label.

    Please don’t forget Discotheque Records. We recorded “The Masters Of Stone House, The Rainmakers, and The Bel-Aires. While Fenton Records had a lot of output, I like to think that Discotheque Records had innovations with Sound effects used on the record recorded by the Bel-Aires. (see side A) Remember that this record was a LAD Production 🙂
