    Does anyone happen to know the release date for the Canadian edition? Was it also in 1978, or did it come out later?

  • Jackie's Personal Label Venture

    5 out of 5 stars
    Roovvjelkir27 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    Based on various sources, I'm pretty sure Turn Table records was Jackie's personal label, and he put out this record himself under his own label in the US while he was in New York. It was still pressed along with the others in Canada, though. Maybe it was his way of trying to handle his own distribution. There are only a few releases on this label, including the 7" from this album that's already been submitted, and a single from a guy he used to jam with sometimes in New York back then.

    Based on various sources, I'm pretty sure Turn Table records was Jackie's personal label, and he put out this record himself under his own label in the US while he was in New York. Even so, it was still pressed alongside his other records in Canada. Maybe he was trying to handle the distribution himself.
