Another reason to use local presses is that these old wax and vinyl albums were very sensitive to heat, and sometimes the ink was also. Air-conditioned trucks, proper ones, that didn't add moisture [and ruin the ink] were a long way in the future.
This makes a lot of sense PJ, and expalins a lot of the Quality labelling used. For example, when atlatnic records used Quality as a distributor, the label would look identical to the one you see here, but directly underneath the red banner it would be printed, "Atlantic Series"
Yes.. Many times these were mutual distribution agreements. The parent label maintained the rights, and both labels shared profits. Quality also bought bought exclusive rights to use in Canada with some records. This usually happened with the smaller American labels, and these songs were released on one of Quality's own labels.
Quality was one of the largest Canadian record companies. They weren't the only ones to distribute American material, but they were one of the main ones. It makes sense since they were one of the largest distributors in the country. I believe when Quality released something on an "imprint" label like the MGMs you mentioned, they had a mutual distribution deal. When they released the records on their own label, that means they bought exclusive rights for use in Cananda if I understand correctly
That would probably be the reason. Distribution in other countries would have been difficult for the smaller companies. Even Columbia records were manufactured by the sparton company of Canada and RCA and DECCA was the Compo company of Canada. There were probably lots of lega and commerce issues as well.
PLEASE SHOW THE YOUNG FOOLS HOW IT'S DONE. Joe looks like Morris Day....or does anybody remember him either?
