music:
"Where Do I Go From Here" - Al Kent (Ric Tic
127b)
Future product was now released exclusively on the Ric-Tic label.
All other labels ceased to exist.
A couple of Edwin Starr's 45's were released through to February,
possibly suggesting that this was part of the deal.
The Ric-Tic label changed from it's simple red and black design
to a more complex blue and gold pattern.
Myto Publishing no longer appeared on Ric-Tic discs and was
replaced by Ric-Tic publishing, Wingate Publishing and in a couple of instances
Illinois Publishing.
Remarkably the style of music being released would change too,
with the old abrasive up-tempo style being replaced by a mellower, sound.
Headquarters were now based in Ed's home on Edison where a
basement studio was used for rehearsals and demos.
Recordings were now scheduled at United Sound Systems on Second
Avenue and Magic City Studios on Grand River.
Ric-Tic ran for another eighteen months with a fraction of the
manpower...........
