Record Tapestries
Description: Kicking Mule Records was an American independent record label, founded in Berkeley, California in 1971 by guitarist Stefan Grossman and Eugene "ED" Denson, formerly co-owner of Takoma Records. The company's name comes from the country blues sexual two-timing allegory "there's another mule kicking in your stall". During the 1970s, the company did much to popularize solo fingerpicking guitar, expanding the style with recordings of Scott Joplin rags, Beatles hits, big band tunes, and Turlough Carolan harp tunes. The label also released several similarly-styled banjo records.
Description: Tofu Records was a US record label of Sony Music Entertainment Japan that was launched in 2003 to distribute Japanese Sony artists in the United States, and that closed in 2007. Their first signed artist was T.M.Revolution, and they used the anime fandom community to spread the word. T.M.Revolution's U.S. concert debut at Otakon 2003 was successful, drawing an audience of over 5,000. In March 2007, Tofu Records closed. Releases on Sony Music Japan now appear on Columbia or Epic Records through a new deal.
Description: White Whale Records was an American independent record label, founded in 1965 by Ted Feigin and Lee Lasseff in Los Angeles, California, and probably best known as the record label of The Turtles and a handful of one-hit wonder bands. White Whale, in addition to releasing almost all of The Turtles' discography, also released Nino Tempo & April Stevens's single "All Strung Out (On You)", a hit single by Rene y Rene titled "Lo Mucho Que Ti Quiero", an album by Liz Damon's Orient Express, and the only album by Texas band The Clique. Warren Zevon was a staff songwriter for the label, and they issued some of his earliest recordings (as part of the duo Lyme & Cybele).
Description: Walk Together, Rock Together is a studio album by hardcore punk band 7 Seconds, that was originally released as an EP in 1985. In 1986, it was expanded into a full length by adding live songs to the album's B-Side. Considered an essential chapter of early hardcore, the record's harmonies and singalongs are present in full form, along with the well crafted lyrics that the Reno foursome was known for.
Description: A 45 rpm adapter (also 45 rpm record insert, 45 rpm spindle adapter) is a small plastic or metal insert that goes in the middle of a 45-rpm record so it can be played on the standard size spindle of a turntable. A necessity if you had single records. The yellow adapter was the color I always had.
Description: Kama Sutra Records was started in 1964 as Kama Sutra Productions, a production house. The name came from the "Kama Sutra," an ancient Indian Sanskrit text on sexuality, eroticism and emotional fulfillment in life. In 1965, the record label itself was started and a distribution deal with a multinational record label was later signed. Unhappy with the distribution deal, but locked into a contract, Buddah Records was started in parallel in 1967 to become the label for new artists as the Kama Sutra label continued to fulfill their contractual obligations by releasing existing acts under Kama Sutra though 1969, though now with Buddah Records sub-branding.

Description: Nashville, United States, which was started in 1946 by Jim Bulleit and C.V. Hitchcock. Bulleit was an early partner in Sun Records. Its only national hits were by orchestra leader Francis Craig. The pop hit "Near You" made in early 1947 was a monster, topping the charts for seventeen weeks and having a chart run of twenty-five weeks. Craig also made the charts at #3 with "Beg Your Pardon", but no further hits were forthcoming. Despite these hits, the label was known for country music artists such as Boots Woodall's Radio Wranglers, who also recorded for Capitol Records, and Southern Gospel artists such as the Rangers Quartet and Speer Family.
Description: The Crow’s Nest was a free-standing record store that operated in Crest Hill, Illinois, about 38 miles southwest of Chicago. From the store's first day to it's last, sometime in the 2000s, this place was a magical wonderland for music lovers of all ages. Named after the store's own, Floyd Crow, the shop had the kind of community vibe all record stores aspire to, but few manage to achieve. From midnight record release parties to artist meet and greets, Crow’s Nest Records & Tapes created a lasting legacy that many still remember fondly today.
Description: Uncle Jam Records was a record label formed by Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton and his personal manager Archie Ivy. The label was distributed nationally by CBS Records.

Other acts that were signed to the label included singer Jessica Cleaves, Trey Lewd (Clinton's son Tracey Lewis), Sterling Silver Starship, and Gary Fabulous and the Black Slack.
