Finast was a leading retail supermarket in the Northeastern US. Its beginnings go back to 1938 when a man by the name of Edward Silverberg first introduced supermarkets to the Cleveland area. By 1940 Mr. Silverberg had grown his business to a total of 10 supermarkets under the brand name Pick-N-Pay. In 1951 Cook Coffee Co. of Cleveland acquired all 10 stores in addition to another 25 Foodtown, Inc. supermarkets. From there Pick-N-Pay continued to grow and in 1972 Cook sold what was then a total of 57 supermarkets. By 1975 the business became the leading supermarket chain in Cleveland, in direct competition with the other grocery chains such as Fazios and Stop-N-Shop. The business then grew beyond Ohio in 1978 when they acquired the ...

Camelot Music - Records and Tapes Store

The Rotters were a punk band from Los Angeles, California that set out to create vile and disgusting music. The band formed in late '77, though they didn't actually play live until '78, which is the same year they released a single called 'Sit On My Face Stevie Nix.' Random punk bands focused on creating vile music rarely get much attention, but the band not only weaseled their way into L.A.'s biggest rock station, but managed to get their single played on the air before being kicked out. The track was a hit, and people were calling in to request it, and asking record stores to stock it, but not everyone was happy. The then boyfriend of the subject of the song got kind of upset, and started threatening record stores and radio stations...

The Worst

The Dead Boys' 1977 debut is among the greatest punk albums ever made, so a follow-up was going to be tough. The band's label was convinced they had commercial potential, so to insure success, they brought in Felix Pappalardi to produce their 1978 follow up, We Have Come For Your Children. Pappalardi was best known as the bassist for rock band Mountain, and his job was to reign in the Boys. Unfortunately, he was so successful that he ruined a lot of what was great about the Dead Boys. Recording was problematic, and sessions were halted when the band became convinced that Pappalardi didn't understand their music. The band tried, but were unsuccessful to get another producer; so the album was pushed out, and they broke up a short time later.
